This might be a dumb question, but I've been out of the loop as far as Conroe procs go...

At work I'm sitting on a Dell Optiplex 745. It has an E6400, 2.13Ghz.
But in CPU-Z, it shows up with only one core, running at 1594.5 Mhz. Once in a blue moon it jumps for a split second to 2126 Mhz then back down again.

I went into msconfig into the boot.ini advanced options and set /numprocs to 2 for the heck of it. (I'm not sure if the guys that imaged these systems set it up for only one core or not; maybe they had a reason to for compatibility purposes.) Now CPU-Z shows 2 cores, but the proc speed still shows as 1594.5 Mhz.

Why? Shouldn't it be steady at around 2126 or so (2.13 Ghz)?
 
Really should have a sticky or something as there have been many posts similar to this with such and such Intel processor only showing such and such speed in such and such program while doing nothing
 
It's been so long since I upgraded my system I feel a little like a n00b again. Reading a lot and getting up to speed, though.
