CPU-Z not reading cpu speed correctly

I just finished my new build which is Asus P5K mb, E6850 cpu and 4gb DDR2. I
have disabled Speedstep in the bios so cpu should be running full tilt all
the time but in XP it is reading as 6x333mhz=2ghz and in Vista64 it is
fluctuating between 6x333mhz and 9x333mhz. I've set the cpu to manual
setting of 9x333mhz in the bios too. It should always read as 9x333mhz=3ghz.
Computer properties shows it running at 3ghz so why am I getting this issue
with CPU-Z?

Under advanced cpu settings in the bios you have to disable the below
options and not just Speedstep.

Modify Ratio Support: Disable
C1E CPUID Value Limit: Disable
Max. CPUID Value Limit: Disable
