To properly measure your CPU speed, download CPU-Z from
cpuid.com. One thing to remember is that with Intel speedstep,
the CPU will run at a slower speed than the rated speed, unless
it's under heavy load. The speed indicated in Intel CPUID is the
design speed of the CPU, not the actual speed it's running at.

I noticed that your Windows experience rating is only 3.0,
which is low for a Core 2 system. My old system with its
2.4 GHz P4 has a 3.7 rating. You must have another component
that's dragging down your rating.
