    When I first got my zv5000 cpuz would show 9x200. Now the most I can get with Sandra burn in running in the background is 8x200. I've tried always on, desktop, all settings. I can use clockgen and set it to 9 multiplier and it will work but it always goes back to 8 when I turn clockgen off.

    Help please. If you don't know, what notebook forum would know. This really bugs me. I've had 64's in my desktop since they came out and never had this.

    That is odd. I just double-checked mine (fast-forwarding a Quicktime video for my test) and it shot right up to 2GHz (3200+) as it should. I've got the current BIOS and AMD processor driver installed, running SP2 RC2 (haven't installed SP2 final yet).

    When you said driver I checked mine and somehow that old Windows driver was being used. Undated and now is fine. Thanks
