I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX401 Laptop with AMD Duron 800 Processor, 128mb Ram. I have just formatted it and reinstalled Windows XP, after the installation it showed the processor speed correctly at 800mhz but once I had applied XP SP2 the processor is now showing at 496mhz.

Will SP2 effect the speed at which it will run and am I better off removing SP2 or how can I get it to show the correct speed?

Any help would be apppreciated.
 
No, deploying SP2 will not slow down CPU speed.
This must be a coincidence and possibly down to bios settings that have altered inadvertantly.
Enter bios and reset CPU speed, don't forget to save when exiting.
