I have just bought a new Hewlett Packard dx2400 with the E7200 CPU, 500GB HDD, etc... It constantly shows that it is running at 1.6GHz, despite the CPU and BIOS identifying that its stock speed is 2.53GHz. The HP BIOS is really bad in that you cannot change anything at all in terms of speeds, clocks and multipliers. The chipset is Intel® G33 Express and this has 2 FSB settings - 800MHz and 1333MHz. I have read that you easily (with no danger) step the FSB up to 1333MHz and the E7200 will run at over 3GHz quite happily and solidly at this FSB frequency. How do I go about getting it to stock speed and beyond with this HP pc? TIA,
