i cant get it to go faster than 2.46. if i go any higher it wont boot. i dont see why i cant get a 2.8Ghz processor to actually run at 2.8Ghz
motherboard:ASUS P4S8X-MX, memory:1GB Super talent pc3200

it wont boot most likey because the processor is getting too hot and you dont have a good enough CPU fan/cooler to be able to run at that spped ... also another possibility would be that your motherboard does not support that speed. look it up.

If you look at your car user's manual, you might find something in it called "capacities". If it lists something like "Gas tank: 18 gallons", you shouldn't be surprised if it is off a bit from there in either direction. Manufacturers use different vendors to obtain their gas tanks, which might have slightly different shapes, etc; thus, their volume may differ, even within the same model year. That number is an approximation (my user manual says the gas tank holds 18 gallons, yet it has never gone more than 16 gallons, even when I let it run empty, on purpose (FWIW, I had a 2-gallon gas container with me!). I called the carmaker, and they told me what I related, above).
Similarly, I'm sure you've seen commercials where they say "your mileage may vary". That's because the stated mileage was calculated under precise and constant conditions, that hardly anyone in the real world ever does!
Likewise, the various dimensions and statistics given my computer manufacturers are averages or maximums, and may have nothing to do with your actual results. For example, I don't know how you obtained the "2.46" figure, but keep in mind that anything you run on your computer, including tests to check its processor speed, will "drain" the computer just as if you were running your car with every accessory on (i.e., you shouldn't be surprised that the voltage goes down a bit between recharge cycles).
So, that was a very long way to say, "don't worry about it!"
P.S. How in the world did you get it to go "higher", much less so that it wouldn't boot???

Check the fornt side bus of your motherboard it might only support 2.46

Errors in the speed calculation algorithm?

Because you could chance accidently overclocking it and burning it up and then bye bye processor :( leave it where its at!
