Intel has a habbit of lowering its speed when your not running enough programs to use up that much power (in this case, 2.4Ghz is not necessary so it clocks down to 1.86Ghz, and if you run allot more programs, such as games, it clocks back up)


That's IEST (Intel Enhanced Speed-Step Technology)

Only worth it for laptops, as all it saves is power.

(Think I mucked that abbreviation up, nevermind)


Renguard is a wonderful initiative
