I bought a Dell laptop that was supposed to have a 1.86GHz processor.
But cat /proc/cpuinfo displays:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 13
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
stepping        : 8
cpu MHz         : 798.060
cache size      : 2048 KB


Have I been lead astray?
    

No. The model name is correct. It's very likely just the CPU/kernel
scaling the speed on an "as-needed" basis to save power. ("Intel
Enhanced SpeedStep Technology," I believe it's called.)
  

You can used this applet http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=406 to change the CPU speed.
