The 9xx series are a great improvement to the NETBURST processors, and with a good video card (see later) can likely get playable games (possibly maxed in some games).
wasn't sure if you were referring to the initial post. Yonah is the code name of core duo mobile. The 9x0 series were preslers.

maybe check why it's running at 991 mhz (power options set to "always on" power scheme). AMD has 'coolnquiet' which slows the processor down, maybe disble it. what games are you running?

HP Pavilion
AMD Athlon[tm] 64 X2 Dual
Cor Processor 4200+
991 MHz, 960 MB of RAM
um, not sure why my first post didn't show, but anyways there is clearly something wrong with your setup. 991 mhz is not the speed of an athlon 4200+ x2. (2.2 ghz is what it should be running at). what is the model of your HP system (something like a1530n or same format)? have you installed the amd hotfixes? do you have all the updates for windows?

what is your graphics card (right click my computer, properties, hardware tab, device manager, display adapter...)
