I have the same symptoms, but my question is different: Why is there a
800 MHz frequency option?

I am asking this because:
1. There's no such frequency when running Windows with every driver correctly 
installed and checking the real-time frequency with CPU-Z. The minimum 
frequency available in Windows is 1600 MHz.
2. It's physically impossible for the CPU to reach that frequency given that 
the minimum multiplier for a Core 2 Duo processor is 6x, which, given its FSB 
of 1066 MHz (quad pumped, meaning 266 MHz real clock), gives a minimum 
frequency of 6x 266 MHz = 1600 MHz, just as reported by Windows.

Can someone please shed some light over this?
