Jouni,

Hmmm,... I didn't even know the processor could do that. I will see if
I can check it out.
Thanks!

David,

Jouni also suggested that. When I get a moment I am going to check it
out.
Thanks!

Dennis,

The "cooler" is a stack of fins. And I just blew the dust out of it a
couple of days ago. <g>
Please see the other replies in this thread. I will report back when
I've done a bit of checking.

I wrote a quick-and-dirty little app to test the surmise you all had.
You were correct!
See Attachments for a screen shot of the test results (Q's CPU Speed
Test Results).
Thanks to all!
