Help me fix "About This Mac" CPU info

[jasjeet]

Hi ive successfully got everything to work on my system, now just some tweaks.
In About this mac it says CPU is 3.82Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.

But my CPU is i7 920 4Ghz, can i fix this?
It probably because its using default multi of x20 but i run x21.
Is there a program that i can use to check the actual live CPU speed?

I am running 10.6.4
Heres my smbios.plist

Ok i got it to show i7 920, but speed still at 3.8Ghz.
How can i confirm that its running at 4Ghz? And how can i get it to show the real speed in About This Mac?

Im at the same place.

I have my I7 875 2.93ghz OC to 3.6 as reported by MSR Tool.

How can I get this to show in 'About this Mac' or the System profiler? or is this purely a cosmetic indication?

Thanks All
