why is my 2.4 ghz cpu running at 1.8ghz?

[Cancer12]

Hello, an opponent in supreme commander recently pointed out that my computer was underperforming. I have a dual core E6600, which is 2.4ghz. I checked my post screen (which is normally disabled on my gigabyte MB), and I'm clocked at 1.8GHZ. My memory is kingston 667 mhz ram, which I though was plenty fast. Is my memory not fast enough? help is appreciated for an oldschooler who is out of the scene.

NM, my FSB was set at 200, I just upped it to 266 and everything is fine. I might OC it too, trying for 2.8 to see how it goes. Thanks anyway

put your fsb at 300 or 350, and you can prolly just boot Just check temps for a bit ...
