E6850 running at 2Ghz

Hey all

Just a quick check to make sure im not missing something - ran cpuz on my new E6850 and it says:

Core Speed: 2000mhz
Multiplier: x6
Bus Speed: 333.3mhz
Rated FSB: 1333.3mhz

So... im running at 2Ghz right? Bios settings? Shouldnt it auto detect the 3Ghz on my GA P35c?

Something really obvious im missing?

Looks like speedstep has activated. It will revert to proper speed when you fire up a game or an application

Could it be speed step? Reduces the multiplier while the machine isnt loaded? Try running something to stress the cpu, you should see it go up.
