2MHz isn't going to effect anything. There is always some variation in processor speeds. The given speed is only an average. My 933MHz runs at 937MHz out of the box.
 
That, and a lot of software misreads the actual speed anyway.

Cody, Brian isn't b1tching at you or anything, he was just mentioning a thread a while back when a kid put down everyone's system just cause they didn't have the latest, greatest scsi 15000rpm hard drives. He meant no offense by it

Yeah, OLEerror, but your processor is UNDERmarked. Mine is OVERmarked. I realize that they cannot get to the exact speed every time, but usually when they cannot reach the speed they are looking for, they back up the speed & send it out @ 50Mhz slower. I downloaded a small program that is supposed to measure processor speed to the .01Mhz.

There are variations from chip to chip that could cause it to go slightly above or below spec. 2MHz is only about 0.3% off though. It might not even be the processor though - something in the motherboard could be slowing the bus down slightly, thereby dragging the processor down.

Damn everyone is 550mhz and up.I finally got my motherboard.I must say the on-board sound isn't all that great,and the dvd is choppier.but i can see a difference.the dvd sound jumps with the movie, cause when it edges along so does the sound.Any answers?
And another thing i tried to play quake III<all i got was a grey screen,i did task manager,and exited.I reinstalled my drivers and i still got the grey screen.What do you all suggest?
