AMD Athlon 64 3500 Reporting 990 MHz

check your fsb speed for they always seem to default to the lowest setting
after flashing the BIOS or even resetting the BIOS.
HTH for I'm not familiar with your setup.

could also be because cool and quiet is enabled...this slows the CPU down if
you arnt using it.......

Also, don't even bother with the Windows reported speed, because for a
while, it was reporting my P4 2.8Ghz CPU at 37Ghz. Get something like CPUZ,
and it'll tell you more than you ever wanted to know.

apparently the cool & quiet feature drops the clock speed when the cpu
is idle... wish the manual would've been more clear on that!
