    Hi everyone, im a little confused...
    i just got my new notebook!
    it's a Clevo/sager3880 with:

    Pentium M 2.0Ghz
    1gb DDR2
    80gb HDD (5400)
    nVidia GO 6600 128mb
    and so on...

    the thing i'm a little confused about is this:
    when i right click "My Computer" it reads the following->

    ---------------------------
    Intel(R) Pentium(R) M
    processor 2.00GHz
    1.50GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
    Physical Address Extention
    ---------------------------

    What i would like to know is what the "1.50GHz" is!!
    when i run "Mobile Meter" is reads the "frequency" as 1.50GHz!
    what does this mean??? i thought i had bought a 2.0Ghz processor!

    this is probably a stupid question on my part, and im sure there is an explaination, but im clueless! please help!

    (sorry for the long post)
    also: is an Aquamark3 score of 35k+ normal for my specs, or is it low??

    CHEERS !!!!

    It's just to conserve battery power and minimize heat I think.
