Ok I've managed to fix the problem. On the motherboard there is a block with
6 dip switches that were all set to Auto. I just moved them to make a 15x
multiplier with a 133 FSB and got my 2Ghz back. Still don't know why it
suddenly went to a 1.47Ghz as I've had it all on Auto since I got the board
about 18 months or so ago. The latest BIOS for my board is F6 which I have
also just updated.
