Greetings All,
I have a Amd 4200+ and it usually shows a core speed of 2204.8 and a multiplier by 11 and sometimes fluctuates down. Now it stays as the one specified. Am I reading something wrong?

Thank you for yout help.

Modern CPUs are capable of speed throttling in order to greatly reduce power consumption when the CPU is mostly idle. Power management in Windows XP and 7, when set to any mode other than Always On, enables power management features for the CPU. Laptop, notebook and netbook manufacturers may also implement CPU power management options either in BIOS or via proprietary utilities installed on the computer.

Thank you Gonetoplaid,
Yes I agree and acknowledge that is true and definately happens here, however, the speed from the time you start speccy to the end after hours of running stays stationary and the multiplier will change frequently. Under any stress from idle to running a stress test which in previous versions changed the speed with usage as well as the multiplier.
