My AMD cpu change speed on me,

something very strange happen to me
what would cause a compter to downgrade from a Amd athlon xp 2400 (2000 MHz), to be listed now as AMD duron 1.47 GHZ

Is this in the BIOS or the operating system? If the BIOS shows the correct processor, i wouldn't worry too much. If it is not, it may have misdetected the CPU type so a reset of the CMOS or BIOS update may help that. Not sure why it would happen though.

last nite i did the pitstop test, and i was at 2000 MHZ, just finish s ame test now i now at 1.46 MHZ

i also found the same info on system properties and system mechanic 7, which is the prgram i was fooling a round with last nite, and i thing did me in


i have use everest before and it tell me the same thing, i when down hill
even prgram BIOS agrent tell me the same
