hey was just looking through control panel under system after installing system pack 2 for vista and saw that under the processor type is now says:

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.83ghz 3.01ghz

it used to say:

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.83ghz

what does the 3.01 mean next to the 2.83? i know little about this stuff so i'm confused..any help would be appreciated

Download CPUZ, that ought to clear things up. The 3.01Ghz after it implies that the chip is overclocked, CPUZ will tell you what your processor is actually running at.

This. Mine says 3.00GHz 3.86GHz. It's 3.00 stock, but overclocked to 3.86
