About this Mac showing "2ghz" for i7 860

Weird that it shows it. I know it's asthetics but it bothers me still. Using multibeast 2.0.

What does the BIOS report when booting?

you've recently flashed your BIOS and haven't reloaded optimized defaults? in which case your multiplier is down at 15 = 2.0Ghz

If so reload optimized defaults then apply AHCI, HPET 64-bit and any other changes you want (floppy drive, serial port, BIOS splash screen etc)

Yea I just figured it out. I was about to edit my post. DUH! BTW did these boards allow 23x multi's before? I don't remember it from before and now w/ F8 the splash screen says unlocked performance.
