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.

Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz > GA-MA770T-UD3P > Sapphire ATI 4650 512MB DDR3 > 4GB OCZ Platinum 1600MHz@1066MHz > XP/Win7 Enter 64

Yes its the speedstep which lowers the clock of your CPU in idle mode,you can disable it from BIOS if you want

Where in the BIOS would you find this speedstep?

If you are referring to your AMD system, it is called Cool n Quiet. In most cases, neither cause any noticeable performance decreases.
