It means your system is overclocked.  You have a 1.40 GHz cpu that's being
overclocked by raising the bus speed to make it run at 1.87 GHz.  That's
usually ok.  It's a way to get a faster computer without paying the price
for a faster processor.  I only have one system that isn't overclocked.  But
if you bought this system and thought you were paying for a 1.8 GHz cpu or
higher then there is a problem because you didn't get what you paid for.

Subject: PCWorks: What's this number?

Hi everybody,
I am running Windows XP. The tab Control Panel/ System/ General reads:
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.40GHz
1.87 GHz
256 MB of RAM

What does "1.87 GHz" denote?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
With best regards,
Linh (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)
