Hi,
That is 100% normal.
Chips can run a little under or over the spec. that's the way they are built. 2MHz is a veeeeeeeery small percentage, and the test that you used could been of some. Or, if you have anything running in the background that could drop your speed.
Picollo,
I would not worry about the speed difference, i have run benchmark test on my 700Mhz machine and some programs say i have 698,699, 703Mhz.So the missing Mhz's you will never miss,and is not a problem.

You have no problem with your system.
