hidepp Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 After installing on a laptop, iAtkos S3 is recognizing the CPU as "800Mhz Core 2 Duo Processor", while the right processor is a 1.6GHz Core Duo. CPU scaling is disabled on BIOS. What can I do to fix this? The performance is not so good, and I think is related to this.

SnoopKatt Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Use CPU-X to see if it's really running at 800mhz. I attached it (props to netkas to making it). System info isn't always accurate. I'm having a similar problem as well. I have a Vanilla 10.6.5 install, and OSX is detecting my CPU is at 3.2ghz. CPU-X displays my CPU correctly (E6420), but it's saying that the multiplier is 10.0 and the bus speed is 320mhz. However, it's really set up at 333mhz and the multiplier is 8.0. Would this incorrect CPU speed detection be detrimental towards the performance at all? If it isn't, I don't care too much, but I definitely want this computer running correctly.
