IS CPUZ supposed to do this?

I just flashed my Abit P35-E to the newest BIOS in hope of solving the double boot issue. After a seemingly successful flash and clearing CMOS etc I went back into BIOS and reset everything to stock (200x10 I have an E2180).

Loaded up Windows fine, and just went to check CPUZ quickly and the display for 'Clocks' on the first tab keeps on alternating between what I set the chip to run at 200x10 and then 200x6 giving 1200Mhz! It seems almost as confused as me... is this normal?!

Also, the machine still double boots even with the latest BIOS, has anyone else out there who perhaps has the same board got a fix for it?

Thanks in advance

Sorry I think I have found the answer to the CPUZ thing, it's speedstep kicking in isn't it :\

Thanks for your input guys. If I run a program alongside CPUZ which is CPU intensive it will leap back up to 200x10 again! It's quite clever really I guess.

Is there any drawback of leaving it on?
