Core Speed Not Constant

[sickness]

I've got a Compaq Persario R3000 with an AMD 64 3200+ Clawhammer CPU in it, and when I run CPU-Z the core clock speed keeps changing. It goes from 798 MHz to 1595.8 MHz and sometimes it'll go to 1595.9 or .7. When I ran this program on my previous notebook and on my desktop the core speed doesn't change like this. Any ideas why it does this?

Here's a link to my CPU-Z validator.

Oh, alright. As long as it does that when I'm not doing anything important. Thanks.
