This is perfectly normal: when the cpu isn't being taxed and is "idle" the EIST technology in the intel chips downclocks them to ~800 MHz. The moment you run something that uses one or more cores that will OC to somewhere between 2.3 and 2.7 GHz. I have never seen my G74 reach its full potential of 2.8-2.9 GHz in windows even when running prime 95 on a single core (reviews of the G74 also see this problem; see http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-G74SX-3DE-Gaming-Notebook.56809.0.html) but my cpu freq. goes to 2.925 GHz under linux quite readily.

Actually, its an Intel feature, I think. Most people would like their notebooks to use lless power when idling. Anyway, don't you wanna be "green"? Lol
