I ordered the amd quad core "propus" 2.66GHz and just using the stock cooler not doing anything to radical but i o/c it to 3.0 and it notices it in cpu-z but in the regular windows 7 settings it shows as the stock 2.66ghz a buddy told me it was prolly just a windows thing but i wanna make sure

any help is greatly appreciated

Look next to the first speed rating, is there another?

For example, this is what windows shows for me:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz 3.13GHz
 
just use CPU-z to check the overclock and ignore what windows says..
 
definatly a windows thing....same thing with my Phenom II X2 550 when I OC it
 
That's a Windows thing, it detects the speed the CPU's default speed if either SpeedStep or Cool n' Quiet are enabled.
