New Aspire shows only half mhz

Hi, i got myself a new aspire but the thing is that windows shows only like half the mhz. It is a sempron 3100+

I even tryied a program called cpu-z same thing there. And ive look in bios and there i cant change anything.

 

Does it stay at half all the time or does the speed increase when you stress the cpu. To save power most mobile cpu's will clock down to 800MHz(in the case of the Sempron) when idle and should automatically increase depending on the usage. If this does not happen and is stuck at 800MHz what ever you do, then you can try by looking at the power settings and set it to Portable/laptop or Always On. If this does not fix it then try uninstalling and reinstalling the AMD processor driver(get the latest one from AMD's website. Even doing this does not fix it then use a third party power management tool like RM Clock or Cystal CPUID and then manually set the cpu to run at different speed states.

 

Cheers miner, sometimes you have to be reminded of something very basic. I visited AMD's site and downloaded amdcpuid.exe. This small .exe showed that the Turion I thought was stuck at 800Mhz.. was secretly picking up the pace when it needed to.. doing 1415Mhz as I type.

I thought there was something wrong, there isn't.

Here's the link to the AMD CPU apps and drivers page for Turion CPU's.
