Processor Underperforming

My old computer, now in my kids room, is a Systemax which has an "AMD Athlon XP1700+ with quantispeed".
The real speed I realise should be around 1467 and not 1700. However when I checked my system properties it said the processor speed was only 1100.

I had already downloaded the programme "PC Wizard 2007" when looking to upgrade the computer RAM. This application does correctly identify the processor capabilities as being just under 1500, but confirms also that it is only running at 1100.

Can any of you guys let me know the probable cause and if there is a solution?

Regards
