Well, I've got an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice core), and I thought it should be running at 1.8 GHz, but CPU-Z says it running at 1.1 GHz. Is this correct, or is something horrubly wrong?

The multiplier is set too low. Did you try to overclock? For some reason, it appears the multiplier has been changed. Go into the bios and set it to default levels.
Ah, so it's AMD Cool 'N Quiet. I forgot I had installed that. Thanks. I was getting paranoid that I'd have to buy a new CPU.
I assume the speed goes back to normal when under load, correct?
