It's because of the manner that the size is reported under windows is different that they was it is reported when partitioning.

I may be mistaken on the numbers but under fdisk a Kb=1024 bytes when under windows Kb = 1000 bytes. The difference adds up, but in both cases they are reporting the same number of bytes. No worries.

I'm making an assumption here, I will bet you updated all of your system drivers as well (MB Chipset, Audio, Video, Mouse etc). If you did I will assume you updated your BIOS too.

If these assumptions are correct, the BIOS is reading your processor at it's actual speed now. The BIOS is the component that displays that data.

Gee, if you really wanted to speed it up, and never have to defrag the disk again, you should have grabbed the free http://pclinuxos.com and installed it so that the computer would run up to 50X faster, have 5,000 games, programs, applications!

Why do you people run the bloated and clunky, 7 year old and slow Microsoft product that is susceptable to 150,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions, trojans, etc. that requires an extra 8 programs for protection??

Even Microsoft.com, msn.com, hotmail.com all switched to Linux, on their 45,000 computers! It is 50X faster, it does multi-tasking. Linux is totally virus free, cracker proof. One Linux system replaces 8 to 12 Microsoft systems.

Yes, outta the box Linux plays ALL the games, and PCGaming reported in their heads-up competition that it is up to 50X faster in Quake III Arena, when run versus a XP system that was tweaked to the maximum!

The only thing you'll fear, is fear, itself! I am sure you are as smart as the 9 year old kids I have here, in school! Didja see where Indiana Schools are using 20,000 Linux computers this year, and double that, next year?

MHz or megabytes cause you can not change your MHz by going to fat 32. you can change your megabytes, well not really but the way Windows displays it to you by going to fat 32 because windows reads and writes to the drive in a more compressed manner, and displays what the drive has differently than Dos, which controlled fat 16, dos figured megabits by dividing disk space by 1024, where windows fat 32 tends to go by disk space divided by 1000 to give you total megabytes.

your computer only reports the speed at the moment you requested it. it may be that the next time you check it it will be 264 MHZ but 2MHZ will not be noticable.
