This CPU isn't that great. Here is the explanation

It is true that the base speed is 1.7ghz, but last night I was testing dolphin out and had a utility running to check the cpu speed and 90% of the time it was right up at 2.9GHZ.

That is what confused me, until I checked the speeds with the utility, I would have agreed with your response, and it was what I initially figured the problem to be. But the cpu wasn't stuck at 1.7 ghz
