Computer Specs:

Soltek 75FRN2-L NForce2 Socket A Dual DDR Motherboard
AMD Athlon 2800+ 512K 333 FSB Barton Core
Samsung 1 Gig PC2700 DDR333 RAM
WD Caviar 120 GB HD

I purchased all the parts for a friend of mine, built this new system, but during the POST and the boot up screen, it says it is An AMD Athlon 1.25 GHz. Even in the Windows System Information in the Control Panel is showing it as 1.25 GHz. This CPU is supposed to be running at 2.6 Ghz.

Any suggestions on what I should do? Something I overlooked? Any help will be greatly appreciated as my friend is anxiously waiting for his new computer.
