  Check that your processor is really running at 1.4GHz and not at 900MHz.
You can do this for example with the DirectX diagnostic tool. If you have
it installed properly, it sould be found under
Start/Settings/Control Panel/DirectX/DxDiag... It opens a dialog where,
among other things, it tells your processor type and its clock speed.
Check that it says "~1400MHz".

  There's a problem with some bioses which detect wrongly the clock speed
of the Athlon processor. If this is the case, you have to set the right
speed by hand from bios.
  I know this because it happened to me.
