First, a word on the terminology: the CPU is the Central Processing
Unit, the processor, a chip on the motherboard. It is *not* the entire
computer itself.

Could somebody have sold you a computer with only a 233MHz CPU? It's
possible, but highly unlikely. What did you buy? Where? What were the
specs of the computer you were supposed to get? What makes you think
that it's a 233MHz CPU?
