Is this a bug in cpu-z? or did I get ripped off? The core speed keeps fluxuating(only in cpu-z ) ;between 1200 and 1800
The information given by everest isn't comforting either 
btw If you need extra info I have the packaging laying besides me now

That is caused by a function called SpeedStep, it's to save energy 
Have a look here for some more info -http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/247006-10-running-full-speed-wrong-multiplier

phew... that's a relief. I'll wait untill I get my 9600GT and then i'm going to OC it to 3.0ghz (at least give it a try)
Thanks for the quick response

Does it say "Intel Confidential" on the integrated heatspreader? I noticed everest thinks you have an engineering sample (could be a bug since cpu-z doesn't report it), which if you do means you got illegally sold a chip and should give intel a call. Intel are very nice to customers who return engineering samples

The last guy who got a ES called Intel and got a QX6700 for his C2D X6800 if I remember correctly. You could upgrade to a much nicer chip for the price of a Pentium DC.
