When i go into My Computer Properties it says how much RAM i have and how fast the Processor is going.

i would like to see if that reading is just an anomaly, second sheck your power settings to see if your cpu is throttling down during low activity, 632Mhz is very low for that, but it may be a misread.....oh yes, welcome to Techspot.
