Thanks for replying! Actually, I just found out that somehow the driver stopped working and it didn't say anything when I checked. Installing the latest drivers and chipsets from Dell fixed it. Thanks anyways!

I've just built a new PC that has an AMD Phenom II 955 3.2GHz processor. The BIOS sees this. But Windows 7 shows only 1.6GHz.
I've fiddled with the BIOS as much as I can figure out. But to no avail. I've been to the AMD site to see if there is anthing that I can do to get it to work properly, again to no avail (maybe I missed something). Googling hasn't helped as I end up of gamer sites where nothing makes any sense whatsoever.
The only thing in the system that is rated as 1.6GHz is the RAM, but the BIOS setting for it was set to 1066MHz. Also, RAM is pretty much always slower than the processor speed.
I'm at a bit of a loss now as I can't figure out what is wrong. The most irritating things is that because of the slowed down processor the Windows Experience Index is calculated as 3.9 (the 4 year old PC it is replacing has a score of 4.2)
The details:
Motherboard: Gigabyte motherboard MA790XT-UD4P AMD AM3 790X ATX
Processor: AMD CPU AM3 Phenom II X4 955 quad core 3.2GHz x4 Black Edition
RAM: OCZ Memory 4GB (2x2048MB) Intel Extreme Edition XMP Ready Series DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz RAM Dual Channel CL 7-7-7-24XMP Profile 2: 1800MHz 9-9-9-31 Intel Black XTC Heatspreader

Are you sure it's not a reporting error? You could try and run SiSoft Sandra, and see if your performance is as expected with your hardware.

It could be... I have thought about that possibility but the system does seem slightly sluggish and the benchmark tests that windows runs to determine the windows experience score return quite a low result.
I'll look into the SiSoft Sandra thing when I get back home tonight.

Is this happening at full load, or only at idle?

Good question. No idea.
I used the AMD Cpu tool to report speed and it came back as Current: 1.6GHz, MaxSpeed: Unfused. No idea what "unfused" means.

Install prime95 and do a stress test. Then check your cpu speed.
I suspect your CPU is fine. For power saving reasons any CPU from the last few years underclocks itself when idle.

Check that the power scheme is Balanced or Max Perf. If it's Power Saver, the CPU will be underclocked. (I don't think this is the cause, actually, since the default should be Balanced and desktops don't get the tray icon that lets you change schemes, but it's all I can think of)

Power Scheme was set to Balanced. I set it to Max yesterday but to no avail.

I set the BIOS up manually, but using all the settings it had auto-detected. Windows and the AMD Processor utility now report the CPU speed as what I would expect.
However, it did not alter my Windows Experience scores after I re-ran the test. And a processor stress test only ran about 10% faster than the previous run, despite the processor now running at twice the speed.

Did you compare? You need ANY processor "grading" tool that can compare with online lists of similar computers. SiSoft Sandra just sprang to my mind, but PC-Mark or others might work just as well.

Can you you a webbased AV tool, or is that unacceptable for the same reason you can't do it the normal way?
If not, you'll have to search for a removal guide for the specific virus you've got. www.google.commay be of assistance.

Check the name of virus from online scanning tool. Most antivirus provider provide such service. Then, download removal tool/Fix tool and scan. Cost=$0

 I need to use a webcam for a project where I need to control cam's internal parameters. I know that I can find in the market cameras with some API's, like logitech.
For the other side I know I can do something with DShow and Windows Driver Development kit.
Someone can tell me what is the better way to begin with this project, I mean which tools are more convenient to use and if you know some appropiate camera with Api's or SDKs, that makes more easy and reliable this implementation, the application must be implemented in c++ -- THANKS IN ADVANCE !

Dear All,
Please give a solution to cut the paper when i print..
i m using thermal printer.
For print,i send a string to print
|
|

|

I don't think C# is sharp enough to cut paper.
If your printer can cut paper, there must be some command to make it do so. I would try sending an ASCII formfeed; then read the documentation.

Hi.
I just bought a Vaio VGN-AR890U Laptop.
It's OK. but there is a problem !
It has 4GB Ram , But its default OS is Vista 32bit that doesn't support 4GB Ram. To use 4GB Ram we have to install Vista 64bit.
So I'm looking for Windows Vista 64bit drivers for VGN-AR890U.
The official support web site ,is for American Laptops
http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/model-home.pl?mdl=VGN-AR890U®ion_id=1[^]
My laptop made in China, So I can't use them 
Could you guide me how I can install a Windows Vista 64 bit ?
Many thanks in advance

If you're listening to a radio station stream over the Internet, there's nothing you can do about it.

I voted you down because writing ALL CAPS OVER EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME is considered "shouting" on the net.
