Showing AMD Athlon(tm) 64 1202 MHz on 3dMark when I have 2.4

I recently purchased an alienware aurora. With 3dmark, under cpu i am seeing AMD Athlon(tm) 64 1202 MHz when in fact it is 2.4. May this explain my relatively lower scores (high 10k)?

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 FX-53 Processor 2.4 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra
Total Physical Memory 2.00 GB

Disable the AMD Cool n Quiet Technology under the BIOS screen.

Just disable it then reenable it and it should reflect 2.4, it worked for me, but it is running at 2.4 I assure you, check cpu settings in bios it will show 2.4
