Even under throttling, I've never had that happen to me before.
However, I have found CPU-Z to be more reliable than the Windows stats. Unless, of course, you've cracked this thing open before and are certain that it contains an Athlon.
i had this laptop for about 6 years and im pretty **** sure what i bought lol
this was like 1\10 tries when this happened but normally it shows 1.0ghz but when i saw that im like WTF?
Some laptops throttle down the processor when on battery power, My friend's athlon laptop throttled down to 600mhz when on battery and he was running vista so it got pretty **** slow.
i never run my laptop off the battery because its practically dead it only lasts maximum 10min. and then shutsdown when it reaches 5-10% battery power.
pretty much i run it on the AC power adapter and when i saw this Cpu-z showing results i saw pure bs.
