Hello again guys.
Yesterday I bought an Intel Dual Core 2160(1,8 Ghz, s775), with an ASUS P5VD2-VM (s775,VIA900,DDR2,VGA) motherboard.
When I installed everything and after setting some details in the BIOS menu, I discovered the following line in the CPU CONFIGURATION menu:
CPU Speed : 450 MHz
Also there was nothing to do, in order to change the multiplier or the bus speed.
After installing WinXp, I downloaded CPU-Z, in an attempt to find out what is going on. And there was a surprize! The cpu Speed, according to CPU-z was 1.2Ghz with 6x200 multiplier, and sometimes, especially when the cpu was stressed, the multiplier was changing from x6 to x9 very often, reaching the real 1.8Ghz cpu speed.
How do you explain all the above? Is there something wrong with the bios? Is this the way the cpu works?
Ty in advance!
