Actually, the true clock speed of most motherboards is not exactly what
the specs say anyway. In fact, this is how some motherboard
manufacturers get higher benchmark figures--by overclocking the system
slightly. So your 1000 MHz PIII might be running at 1003 MHz in one
motherboard and 1001.5 MHz in another motherboard, and 998.5 MHz in
still a third motherboard.
