On my settings page on my computer, a few days ago it said 546mhz and when I started it up today it says 984 mhz. Is this the ram speed, or the processor speed? Why would it be changing.

Here is a pic:

I am not sure why you would see either number. A Sempron 3000+ should run at 2000MHz if the mobo supports it. What mobo you you have?
 
This is in a laptop. I'm actually selling it on ebay and need to know if something is wrong with it so I don't sell a defective product. It works great, I just don't know if thats a problem. I think the sempron 3000 is supposed to run @ like 1.8ghz or something..
 
The reason it shows a reduced speed is because of power management software installed. My laptop by default will reduce the CPU speed by 50% when it is running on battery life. I changed this in my power management program, and it no longer drops the CPU speed.

Thought they only did that on idle processes? Makes sense though I guess.

Was that pic taken while it was running on battery or while plugged in, OP?

It was plugged into the wall.

Hmm, I'm not sure if timings and what not can be changed on laptops, but did the timings get changed in the bios? Maybe the system clock got slowed down?

Might consider reseting your bios to default? I'm sure someone else could be of more help, but thats the only thing I can think of.
