cpu misread?

Hi there,

I've got an Asus P4S8X-MX motherboard with a 2.4 Ghz P4 CPU in it.

The bios and Windows picks it up as being type 2.4 Ghz and speed as 1600 Mhz.

Why is there a difference? I would have thought the speed would be matching at 2400 Mhz as that's what it is.....

The bios is the latest, and no overclocking set up in the machine at all....

Any ideas why this machine, and CPU, is running slower than it should be?

Thanks,

Gordon
