I have installed iPC 10.5.6 on this board INTEL DG33TLM Tower Lake - iG33/ICH9R with CPU e8400. I think that I chose Vanila kernel. Everything looks good, bat only "About This Mac" and CPU-x shows incorrect speed. CPU should run on 3 GHz, but both windows show only 2 GHz:-/. So, I think, that CPU runs only on 2 GHz. Is there any way how to run this CPU on the right speed?

Field Note #1 @aquanutz 2009-02-04

Your cpu is running at the correct speed, I am not 100% certain (and someone will correct me if I'm incorrect) but you need a custom SMBIOS file because your hardware wasn't autodetected.

My processor says 3.6ghz despite having it at 3.8ghz. It does not affect performance.
