CPU speed not reported correctly

[Michael W. Oliver]

Hello again folks.  Here is the head of my `dmesg -a':

OK, here is my question:  Why is the CPU speed reported as 801.83MHz?
Is there something really wrong with my setup here?  I have this machine
configured to dual boot with the other OS being the x64 version of XP,
and it reports a 2.2GHz CPU (for what it's worth...).

Is this just some cosmetic thing, or is my CPU really running that slow?
