I don't know how many of you out there have used Pitstop Pro, but I've found it a useful tool for checking my PC. On running the tests on my laptop I'm confused as to why the measured cpu speed is so much slower than the nominal, or published speed. On the pc, the measured speed is always very close to the nominal. Can anyone shed some light on this for me.
