Hello,
On checking my cpu info, I noticed different cpu frequencies too. I
have a Asus A8ne motherboard with "Cool and Quiet" technology. Any
info would be appreciated.
With cpuspeed daemon on and motherboard Cool and Quiet on:

The Athlon 64 Cool'n'Quiet is the same thing as the Pentium M Speedstep
throttling. Mine also throttles down to 1GHz when not in use. I'd say
it's working just fine.
