    Hi

    The system tray icon which appears from the installing this software is set (by default) to display the "CPU Clock". My processor is a C2D 2.16 GHZ, however, the cpu clock icon display keeps alternating between 2.16ghz and 1ghz. Is this normal? Or does this indicate a problem?

    cheers

    This is normal, and represents the Intel SpeedStep technology, which downclocks your processor when possible.
