I am running Windows XP Professional on a recently
purchased Compaq Presario 2175 laptop with a mobile AMD
Athlon 4 2400+ processor. The speed of this processor is
supposed to be 1.8 GHz. When I click "My Computer ->
Properties" the processor speed usually shows as 1.79 GHz
but sometimes shows as 1.05 GHz or as 1.32 GHz.
Someone has mentioned to me that there is perhaps a
problem with the BIOS in that it is not set up correctly
to always use the top speed of this processor.
Can anyone comment on this ? Do I have a problem or is
this to be expected ? Perhaps this is just an XP
reporting glitch.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
