|  Sempron 3200+ at 1.0GHz ?!?
How can this happen?
The computer had a Sempron 2400+ at 1670Mhz.
After reinstalling the windows it changed to Sempron 3200+ at 1.0GHz?
As far as I can read 3200+ is at 1.8GHz?
Can this be done by overclocking or something? |

| It is probably the AMD equivalent of "speed step" technology (power now or something?)
If you do something to use a lot of CPU time, you should see the clock jump back up to nominal speed.

that would be AMD's Cool & Quiet. same thing as intels speedstep.
when you're running low-demand, it runs at lower speed to save power, reduce heat, slow down the fans, etc. increase demand, it all ramps up.

| it's Cool 'n Quiet as mentioned. you can disable it in the BIOS if it bothers you.
as far as overclocking... my experience with Semprons has been good. I had a Sempron 2800+ s754 @ 1.6ghz, which i was able to get to 2.3ghz stable on air, without a voltage boost, at load temps under 45C.
