Yeah probably thats the case, but when i right click on My Computer and click properties it says its running at 1.58Ghz. now is this just something that is adjusted down for some reason and i can turn it up, or is P4 trying to say that its a 1.5ghz processor but since it has hyperthreading its like having 2 1.5ghz processors and it was all a maketing ploy. lol im not sure i dont like pentiums at all and dont know much about em, but hey when its free you take it.
