Hi
My bench mark for a pentium 4 2.4 processor with 512ddr menm and a5400 hard drive is top # on Sandra is 4875 and bottom # is1012-2368 That is cpu arithmetic score. It is a lap top is this good or bad? It says that it is only running at 1.7 ghz in windows and on pcpitstop and Sandra. This is the answer they gave me is this accurate? My previous pentium3 800mmx reported running at 802 mhz. Please help me clarify as I can still return it if there is a problem thanks

Below is what I was told
These programs are generic and not recognizing the motherboard and processor setup is all I believe it to be. Your processor is a 2.4GHZ and runs a 100 FSB with a 24X multiplier. Your motherboard appears to be capable of running 133 FSB and it knows this. The monitoring programs *including* Windows thinks it's running a 133 FSB and therefore the multiplier would be 18X to hit the 2400 MHZ and it's defaulting it's reference to that. So it's taking this 18X multiplier as the information from the motherboard and combining it with the 100FSB that the actual CPU is running and coming up with a 1.8GHZ CPU and it's reporting to these programs that's it's speed.
