I have an Athlon XP 2600+, which runs @ about 2.1 ghz, yet when i look at the
specs for it on Vista, it claims it is only 1.25ghz. When i was running XP,
it had it correctly as ~2ghz.
Also, on the device manager's profile of it, it claims it is K7, which I
can't remember if that is right or not. I looked for a while on AMD's site,
but i couldn't find anything that looked like it would help. Any ideas?
Thanks =)
 
Did you do a clean install or upgrade? It seems that upgrade installs are
having a LOT more trouble than they are worth.
 
Did an absolutely clean install. Copied all my stuff i wanted kept (music
pics and such) to my 2nd drive, stuck in the Vista disc, booted into it, and
wiped my C: clean, installed it.

I couldn't stand it, my games i put on were running horribly slow on the
lower settings than I had running on XP, so I partitioned the drive, lpanning
on having a Multi-OS, but soon found out Vista doesn't like that :( So i'm
back on XP. Wish I could have had a multi-OS, i liked Vista apart from not
being able to play some games :(

Back here in XP, also Its recognizing my 2600, and as 2.09ghz. Oh well, I
plan on putting a whole new machine together this summer, so maybe Vista will
recognize all that correctly.
