Exclamation Noob Question
I have an AMD Athlon 6400 Black Edition. Where can I look to see what speed the CPU is running at?

Download CPU-Z, ill get a link in a sec.

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Near the bottom of the page.

CPU-Z will tell you your multiplier, FSB, Voltage, RAM and everything else about your RAM and CPU.

EDIT: D'oh, you can also look in the windows welcome center if you just want to see your CPU speed.

Some things to know:
1) You shouldn't bash on people just because they have a different opinion than you, and you believe theirs needs to be "corrected". 2) If you read my posts carefully, you should be able to notice my frequent use of sarcasm. 3) Vsync is a good thing. All those extra frames do is create screen tearing. 4) FireGL and Quadro GPUs are for workstations running AutoCAD and that's why they cost so much. 5) Empty RAM is a bad thing. You want your programs and games utilizing everything they can.

Ok, I thought I had a problem and I guess I do. CPUZ says my core speed is 1000 MHZ but since I have a AMD Athlon 6400 it should say 3,200 MHZ right?

If it's just showing 1000MHz its because you have cool n quiet activated, it automatically throttles the CPU speed when idle to save up energy and reduce heat. Run something that uses the CPU with CPU-Z open and you should see that it'll go to full speed.
