1 XM140 ASSEMBLY..., PALMREST..., FPRDR-TPAD, D/F
1 UN494 KIT..., SOFTWARE..., OFCSBE-2K7, ENGLAND/ENGLISH..., DELL AMERICAS ORGANIZATION...
Summary : It has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7100 at 1.8Ghz with 2MB cache. When I start it up, the Processor runs at 785MHz and then finally builds up to 1.18GHz.
It is lacking to achieve the proximate 1.8GHz speed it was built for. How do I fix this issue and what are my alternatives?
Thank you.
Cheers,
Kishi

The CPU is running as designed - it will adapt the speed dynamically to the jobs being done. It isn't designed to run at full speed all the time - you can force that using the power management scheme, but realize that doing so will severely shorten the lifespan of the internal components in the system - the hard drive, mainboard and RAM will all see a significant reduction in their lifespans, due to the added stress from the additional heat generated when the CPU runs flat out all the time - think of it as effectively running your car's engine at redline continuously.

Well said ejn63.
This is perfectly normal. I have a 2.4ghz, quad and it usaully checks in around 1.5 or so, unless the speed stepping (I think that's what it's called) requires more, then it kicks it up.
