how do you check you ghz?
two easy ways depending on how your start menu is configured

for classic view, simply right-click the MyComputer Icon on your desktop then click Proproties. At the bottom of the general tab, you will see something that looks like this...
Computer:
AMD Athlon 64 Processor
+3500
2.25ghz, 1.00GB of RAM
Physical Address Extension
(This is from my system, so obviously yours will look a little different, i used it just to show you the layout)
for the new view, you simply click start, and right click your MyComputer icon from the start menu, and click proproties, both methods will take you to the same screen.
I hope that helps

EDIT: oops, forgot to add, amd's run a little differently than intels. so, an AMD +3000 is equivilent to an Intel 3.0ghz. An AMD +2500 is equivelent to an Intel 2.5ghz and so on.
