I bought a computer recently

 /proc/cpuinfo says I have an

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+
cpu MHz         : 1000.000

However the processor is supposed to run at 3GHZ.  am I being ripped
off? heard stories about fake processors have bios changed to make it
look like the real thing.

is there a linux utility that will allow me to test the processor?
