Has anyone tried using Windows 7 Beta Ultimate with the new AMD X4 955 3.2Ghz core? I just bought and assembled my system, but somehow in the system manager (My Computer->Properties), Windows 7 recognizes my AMD x4 955 as a 1.6GHz quad core!! I was like..WTF!! Has anyone had the same problem? Is it a glitch or something majorly wrong with something?

The task manager showed that I had 4 cores running and other than that, I'm not really sure on how to check my CPU speed. Help me, anybody~

Read your cpu/motherboard manual. Its amazing what it will tell you.

But since your too lazy, its called cool n quiet, it downclocks your cpu when your not doing anything intensive to save power.

Gee, thanks..~_~"
This was my first ever attempt at a custom build, so, sorry for the lack of expertise.
..And thanks to the people who responded nicely.
