This chip is rated at 1.8Ghz and I have OCed it to 2.1Ghz.  So why does 
Kubunutu report it otherwise? 
 
When I turned off AMD Cool'N'Quiet in my BIOS, that seemed to correct the 
problem. 
 
Also, I noticed my MOBO is showing an error code on its diagnostic LCD.  I 
have not been able to decode its meaning though.  It is an Epox EP-9NDA3J 
board error "A8".  I know the MOBO is not the problem because it does not 
display this error in WinXP, only Kubuntu. 
 
The error code persists even with Cool'N'Quiet disabled.
