hi i have an intel core 2 duo e7400 2.80 ghz 2gb ram intel dg31pr asus en9800gt when running cpuz it gives the cpu speed very low ie 1600 mhz help me guys
That is most likely the power saving speedstep (or whatever they call it now) kicking in. Run a CPU intensive task (like a virus scan, or dragging a window around the screen fast) and you should see the clock speed jump back up to its rated speed.
