First and foremost, congratulations to Piriform for creating another awesome piece of software.

One issue i have with Speccy, however, is that it doesn't show a processors "true" clock speed... EG, if someone is overclocking, or if you're using a laptop that downclocks the CPU to save battery life / lower temperatures.

If you click the advanced CPU tab, it shows the correct clocks for each core, but the main summary does not.

Was this intentional?

In any case, awesome app. Keep up the great work!

Not all processor speeds are shown. I have a laptop with Vista and it shows Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo @ 1.73GHz. My desktop shows AMD Phenom II X4 955 but no speed, this is overclocked 3.2 to 3.8. Other downloadable apps show the speed correctly. ;)

If you look at the CPU tab it shows actual speed.

The overview page is reading the name of the cpu, which for intel cpus includes the default clock. Though I agree there could the actual clock at the end.
