That's cool.  I can deal without having speedstep if it means I get my
missing 2.2GHz.  I wonder at the timing, though.  I seem to recall
seeing this under FC5, too, but never did anything about it.  How long
has this been a problem for me?  I've been running Core on this laptop
since FC1.  Surely I haven't been crippled this long?  (Or am I just
misunderstanding, that it's actually running at 2.8Ghz, but reporting
692Mhz?)
