Help! Sandra 2005 - Confused about Processor Speed

Post by Tuz76 »

Hi Guys

I have a P4 2.6Ghz with 1GB of DDR RAM.

Thing is when I Ran Sandra the results showed the following....

[Processor
Model : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz
Speed : 1.30GHz
Performance Rating : PR1725 (estimated)
Cores per Processor : 1 Unit(s)
Threads per Core : 2 Unit(s)
Internal Data Cache : 8kB Synchronous, Write-Thru, 4-way set, 64 byte line size
L2 On-board Cache : 512kB ECC Synchronous, ATC, 8-way set, 64 byte line size, 2 lines per sector]

My question now lies ih the Speed: Why is it only 1.3GHZ? Does this mean its not actually running at 2.6GHZ like it should be?

To further illustrate, when I Right Click on MyComputer - under Properties and then General - it says

Intel(R)
Pentium 4 CPU 2.6GHZ
1.3GHZ, 1GB of RAM

Note the 1.3GHZ pickup here too!

Please can someone shed some light???? :eek:

Thanks in advance guys!!,

Ya it sounds like its running at 1.3ghz, that would be some slow ass speed though. Check your bios, it should list the speed teh cpu is at or the fsb and multiplier. If you cant find it just post back with ur motherboard name and model.
