Grab this tool - it will confirm your processor make, model speed etc and hopefully put your mind at rest:

CPUID

hi,thx for ur comment.that program says correct info yet how come on my computer properties says different sometimes only?mhd.thx

heya mhd. its pretty Simple. Intel speedstep clocks down the processor when its not under heavy load, thus reducing power consumption and heat output, and this is likely what you are seeing here.
