CPU-Z

OK, so I finally get Vista working now, and CPUZ is showing two things which I don't think are right:

It's showing my Core Speed at 2000, with a multiplier of 6, and my ram is showing up as PC-2 64000, when it should be 8500.

Anyone know what I Should be doing to rectify these?

Cheers.

In here?

All I've done is format XP, and install Vista, and the core speed has dropped quite a bit, lol.

So you used CPU-Z on your XP install before and it showed something different?

Speedstep is an intel power saving feature that reduces your CPU's MHz to use less power when your PC is idle or doing basic tasks.

Yeah, it showed excatly as stock, 2.83ghz.

Is there much need to disable the speedstep, because I'm not planning on overclocking as of yet, but am just wondering if it might cause a slowdown, on something like the GPU or something else, when playing games or encoding.

And with the RAM, would you do that in the BIOS? If so I'll probabley be lost there, altering system files isn't really my strong point, lol.

Thanks
