I'm setting up a windows XP SP2 PC for my buddy. He got a biostar P4M890 M7 TE motherboard with an intel core2duo 2.2 GHz (E4500 i think). I noticed that the system (given the specs) is running quite sluggish. After tweaking some BIOS settings and fixing some driver issues i got it to behave OK. However this problem persists:
1. When booting BIOS shows Main Proc: 1.1GHz, but then below says Proc Name: ... 2.2GHz.
2. in System Properties (WinKey+Pause) it shows first core as 1.1 and the second as 2.2.
I remember having this issue once before but i can't remember how if fixed it. I made sure to get up to date mobo drivers, applied hotfix 896256. Played with bios etc. Tired and stumped. Experienced tech.
