You cant its a ploy to con people into thinking that its a 3GHz processor, all this equivalent to a 3GHzintel processor is a load of old crap, if its clocked at 2.17GHz - it runs at 2.17GHz.

The number on an AMD processor isn't the chip's actual speed. It's an attempt to allow some comparison to other processors.
Essentially, the number means that the processor will handle things at least as fast as a 3ghz Intel.

you cant,it runs at the equivalent of a 3ghz intel chip thats why its called the 3000, 2.17ghz is the correct speed for your chip.

Your processor will never go up to 3Ghz. 3000+ stands for the comparison used by AMD between the Athlon XP processors and P4. Your processor should be as fast as a P4 3.0A. (with no hyperthreading).
In modern processors the clock speed (or Ghz) are not as important as they used to be, because the manufacturers focused in other areas, and certain problems arose when Intel neared 4Ghz.
