Display your CPU's true speed

It also fails to display the correct CPU speed for 1 Ghz powerbooks, displaying 667 Mhz regardless of actual CPU speed.

That's what it says for my 867 MHz powerbook too.

Do you remember when GM got caught putting chevy engines in their oldsmobiles?

What if this isn't lying?

You mean like the Isuzu engine in a Chevy? Or a Ford engine in a Mazda and a Mazda engine in a ford? Or maybe a Volkswagen plant in an Audi?

Chevy and Oldsmobile have been the same company for many many years, and most Chevy/Oldsmobile vehicles - heck, GM vehicles, share parts and factories. Remember the Chevy Nova, Olsmobile Omega, and Pontiac [can't remember the name] - essentially the exact same car with slight grill and taillight/bumper styles. How about the Ford Taurus and the Mercury Sable? Or the Chevy truck / GMC truck?

To better fit THIS situation, it would have to be like Chevy selling you a 300HP motor in a car, and listing it as 300HP, and putting all of the "300 HP" badges on the car and engine compartment - but only actually giving you a 250HP engine... Or maybe giving you an engine that can be 300HP but most of the time runs at 200HP... Something like that...

I guess it could be like a car with a governor...
