CPUz says my P4 3.2 Ghz is running at 2.8 ghz

Windows and the BIOS say it's 3.2 Ghz. What gives? Did I get screwed?

Should look at the FAQ on CPU-z site.

Q: CPU-Z reports my Pentium 4 3GHz or above with a 2800MHz CPU speed.
A: This is the effect of C1E (Enhanced Halt State) and/or EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology). Load your system and you will see the frequency increase to its nominal value.

Check for EIST in bios turn it off, and than run cpuz
