    speed step will make the CPU fluctuate depending on your needs. flick your mouse around or hover over some icons and you should see it jump up.

    Yes that is correct, it will raise itself when you need more cpu power.

    Is the multiplier reduced? If it is, that is normal and is from Intel's SpeedStep. It reduces the speed since it detects that you don't need it. When you load the system, it will turn back the multiplier and work at full speed again.

    yeah don't worry about it. eist is what is making it downclock to save the cpu life span, the power comsuption, and many other things. 1600mhz should be the 6x multiplier which is the lowest it will go.
