    Im using an Acer 5920G with Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz CPU.


    CPU-Z shows the FSB at 200Mhz but the multiplier is only 8.0X when it should be 10.0X

    I cant find a way to change the Multiplier in the BIOS either. Ive installed Win7 Ultimate and it recognises my CPU as 2.0Ghz so is CPU-Z wrong?

    Your CPU is probably fine, it gets automatically clocked down with Intel Speedstep when its not under full load. Run something like Orthos and it check it and it should run at full speed.
