semiconeng,

Ok, you just totally upset John Fowler. I think he is going on a new crusade to stop Intel and Dell from deceiving the customer about the MHz of their computer. Hiding it and only allowing them to find out the real story if they follow the obscure instructions that you described:

It's here in the system setup:

"You can use the system setup program as follows:
To set or change user-selectable features—for example, your password or power management features"

The System Setup Screens
The system setup screens display the current setup and configuration information and optional settings for your computer. Information on the screens is organized in five boxed areas:

Title
The box at the top of each screen lists the page number, system name, and version number of the basic input/output system (BIOS).

Options
The box on the left half of each screen lists options that define the installed hardware in your computer and the power conservation and security features for your computer.


John will find this deceptive and highly unethical.
