AMD64 3000 Showing up as 1000mhz

[sphinx]

Alright today I ran AOE III and DoD Source and they both said that my CPU was running at only 1.0ghz, when I know this badboy is supposed to be running at 1.8ghz. Now I was able to play AOE III fine, havent tried DoD Source yet cuz its still updating. I checked my BIOS settings and they look ok, just wondering if anyone could perhaps shed some light on the subject of to why it would be doing this.

It's Cool'n'quiet slowing down the CPU speed when the CPU is idle. It's in order to reduce power consumption, heat output & fan noise, as laptops do it.

mine does that all the time...it reads as 2ghz in bios, then when im in windows ive seen it read as .7ghz...i wouldnt worry about it

Got ya.......I have that turned on....so its reading it fine when it needs to, but since the machine was I guess...idle during the startup of that game it just read it wrong?

Exatly. You can always go to power management, set it to "always on" or something of the likes & then relaunch the system checker. Once it's done, set it back to minimal power management.
