I am using an AMD Turion 64 processor and am trying to figure out why the speed displays differ every time I open the system info under control panel.I have Windos XP SP3 and have loaded the latest BIOS for my machine1 person needs an answerI do too

Windows XP may be having a hard time with the response it is getting from the CPU for this system Parameter. If you have MS Word go to Help | About then System Info. This will give you a system speed snapshot. Run it a few times and see what you get. Your processor seems about 5 years old. Its performance may be failing due to other system issues or just getting old. (Mine is same age) I have Windows 7 at work and it it much better at these parameters than XP. Got to have a good enough PC and especially RAM to run it. I just downloaded and ran CPU-Z a freeware to monitor CPU speed and other parameters. Seems to work fine for your needs. You can get it from CNET.COM or from CPUID.Com
