Hi I just got an AMD 64 3000+ 2.0Ghz cpu for the ASUS k8v-x mobo, with the idea that i'd have a 3.0Ghz PC, was I wrong ??

AMD's processors are slower on frequency. Everyone thinks that the higher the frequency the better the processor, so in AMD's mind it's giving you a number that's comparable to Intel. In other words, AMD's AMD64 3000+ is comparable to an Intel P4 that runs at 3.0Ghz - but it only runs at 1.8Ghz stock.
Thanks you all for your fast reply !!!!!
