AMD 3400+ Lap top running at 790 MHZ

Hi

My mate has just brought a lap top PC with a AMD64 3400+ CPU and an ATI 9700 Graphics card , when he showd me i noticed that its running really slow ..it should be way faster them mine in games but it seams slower .
So i ran DXDIAG and it says the CPU is running at 790MHZ ???? for the 3400+ it should be in the reagon of about 2 - 2.5 GIG , my 2800 is saying 2.3.
I then installed 3D Mark 2003 in his lap top and got a score 980 points , mine got 1690. In a review his one should get about 3000 plus .

Any ideas what up with his lap top ? i could not see any thing wrong in the BIOS settings .

Its a FUGI SEIMONS ( sorry cant spell it lol ) model .


Thanks

What exactly does it say about it in BIOS?

 

To Be honest i could not see any thing to do with CPU or clock speeds etc , maybe theres an option i over looked or theres a hidden menu some were . my MB has a hidden menu that i can get into if i use CTRL and one of the F numbers .

Do you mean that you get into BIOS and don't see anything listed or that on your friend's machine you can't get into Bios?

 

yeah i can get into the BIOS ok but cant see any thing listed to change the CPU/clock settings , thats what makes me think theres a hidden menu or some thing .

It's usually under "Advanced", but it's possible that to make changes jumpers have to be changed on the MB. Nothing in the manual I suppose?

 

Nope he never brought the manual over dohh , but i thought these things would have been done proir selling it . I will give him a ring an a mo and see if the manual has some sought of motherboard / Bios info .
