I noticed that too. here's /proc/cpuinfo (for one of the cores) on my
PhenomII X2 550 (black edition), not overclocked:
processor : 1
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 16
model : 4

cpu MHz : 3100.000

cpu cores : 2

fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 5

bogomips : 6228.99
and it shows the correct cpu MHZ. However, I note that the bogomips shown
by yours is slightly higher than mine, which would correspond to the 3200 Mhz
clock speed. So, I don't understand why yours shows 800 while mine shows
the true rated clock speed. If yours was really underclocked by a factor
of 4 (which would be the case if it were actually running at 800 Mhz) the
bogomips wouldn't be what you're getting.
I wonder if it's an artifact of how the BIOS reports info to the kernel?...
