Why does my PC detect a 1.25GHz processor instead of the existing 1.7GHz?

call up tech support and tell them ur problem. i know some ppl who had HP laptops who had the same problem. they were told to download a patch which fixed the problem.\nbefore u do this, install some software that gives u ur system info. try belarc. search for it at www.download.com where u'll get it for free. if it sshows up as 1.25GHz, call up tech support or take ur PC back if u bought it from a store.

The "PC" number you're talking about is the speed of the RAM.  The only way to tell what speed your RAM is, is to shut down and unplug the power from your computer, open the case, remove a stick of RAM, and look at the sticker on the RAM.  Looking at your motherboard manual will only tell you what RAM speed your motherboard can handle, not what kind is currently installed.  By todays standards, PC2100 is kinda obsolete.  Try upgrading to PC3200 or even PC4200, granted your motherboard can handle it.

AMD and Intel processors over 1.5ghz can (definatly dual core processors from amd or intel could) have a nice day

most likely that you have a computer with a Genuine Intel processor\n\nx86 refers to the intel 80286 processor family that is used in the PC. The other CPU manufacturer is AMD.\n\ni leave a table with cpu speed

Both, check your CMOS settings.

first check your motherboard if it's able to take a 3.0GHz CPU. Further, check which socket is on the mobo. There are 2 different sockets - one is a socket 478 (for the P4 family 5x0) and a socket 775 (for the P4 family 6x0).\nI suppose you have a mobo with a 478 socket (due to the 2.40GHz CPU).

T2400 runs at 1.833GHz\nT2500 runs at 2.000GHz\ndo the math\n((2000 - 1833) / 1833) * 100 = 9.11%\n\nit's not worth to upgrade from T2400 to T2500 (it's $120) according to the prices from newegg\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=50001157+2000340343+1050719930&Submit=ENE&Subcategory=343&Manufactory=1157\n\nyou better upgrade the Ram from 1GB to 2GB\n\nedit:\none thing to remember. the Core Duo processor doesn't support 64bit operation (EM64T is not implemented like in the P4 series 6xx) so you can't upgrade to Windows Vista.

Right-click on My Computer\n\nClick on Hardware -> Device Manager\n\nThen Click on the plus sign in front of Processors\n\nIf your laptop has single processor, you will see only 1 line / info for the processor speed\n\nIf it's a duo processor, you should see 2 lines showing the same info for speeds\n\nI think that's what it is... hope that helps.

it seems to be an overclocking problem - the system became instable. reset all clocking values back to the defaults.

lol\n\nthe reason why they are so low is because the processor is new in the labtops. \n\n\nFor example, a pentium Xeon, does not exist on a desktop but is new on the laptops, therefore it start from 1.0GHz and over\n\nbut in a desktop, we commonly use Pentium 4 precessor which is by now at 3.8Ghz\n\na laptop also use P4 processors, that are also at 3.8Ghz\n\n\nBecause P4 is most commonly know, that is why the P4 processor in laptops are the only processors that are at the same speed as desktop. The rest of the processors are new and trying to catch up to that P4

The AMD XP 2800 is supposed to be equivalent to a Pentium 2800MHz = 2.800GHz processor (hence the 2800).

Right click on my computer and click properties to get the processor type and model. Then go online and find out from the vendor site(intel or amd). and moreover u need to find out if the new processsor takes same voltage more or less and other compatibilities.

You could probably overclock it to 2.2GHZ\n\nEither way if you try and overclock it too high, it will just shut down the computer due to getting too hot, just don't overdo it.\n\nIf you recently upgraded just  your processor. This could be the problem.

You need to go to my computer, then to the control panel, then to the performance and maintenance and performance. Then click on the system icon. Almost at the bottom of the page it will tell you what kind of processor you have, such as 2.9 ghz and beside that it should say something like 512 mb of ram. There you go, I hope I really helped.

maybe its time to get a new computer or upgrade the pentium 4 form 1.5GHZ or 2.5GHZ or higher

thats in your system information.... my computer... contral panel...performance.... then look at your system details...

Consider buying a new CPU -- not a new writer.
