Processor is 2.4ghz - Windows says only 1.20 is being used?
Ummon:
The bus speed is 400mhz and is not adjustable in the bios. The manual says the board can handle 400 and 533, though. As far as Dell says, I have the latest bios (A03), but in this thread a guy says he got A04. I dunno.
SirDaShadow:
It will help us if you tell us what Dell model you have and what CPU you have. Run CPU-Z and take pictures of all tabs and post them here.
Ummon:
Okay.
johnnya:
Dell's specs for that model say, "Intel� Pentium� 4 that runs at 1.70, 1.80, 1.90, 2.00 GHz internally and 400 MHz externally; 2.26, 2.40, 2.53, or 2.66 GHz internally and 533 MHz externally; or Intel Celeron� that runs at 1.70, 1.80, or 2.00 GHz internally and 400 MHz externally" Since your processor is a 2.4 GHz processor, Dell seems to think you need the 533 MHz FSB model in order for it to work properly with your MB. Dunno if that's actually the problem or not.

It looks like nobody saw my post a few up from here. Try putting the system under LOAD, I almost bet a apendage that you will see the speed go up like its supposed too. A computer is smart enough to downclock itself when not under load to save power.
Go get WPRIME run it, and then open CPU-Z while it is RUNNING A BENCHMARK (just use the big test and cancel it after you see your cpu-z readings.)
