[ubuntu-uk] CPU running fast?

[Chris Rowson]

Hi folks,

I've just installed Kubuntu Intrepid on my partner's old Dell Latitude, and
I notice that the reported CPU speed is faster than the CPU is rated...

Is this a reporting mistake, or is this something else odd?

Here's the cpuinfo output, I believe the CPU is a Pentium III class Celeron.
