    Surely that is bad.. :S

    i mean it's only 700 odd when it should be 2200 :S x.x

    btw processor usage is high because of AVG scan but i paused it to see if that was the problem but it wasn't

    Intel Dynamic FSB Frequency Switching ( Dynamic FSB: Yes - Enabled)

    So, FSB = 100MHz

    Therefore, 100*8 = 800MHz

    Run Orthos, Prime95 (small FFTs), and the frequency should go up.

    Its all part of Intel's CPU features, to make CPUs more energy efficient. (Lower CPU/FSB frequency - Lower Power Consumption)

    Your signature says Intel Celeron Duo but you have an Intel Core 2 Duo.
