Make sure you aren't running cpuspeed if you want it to run at full 
speed all the time.  I've run into this on a variety of AMD 64 bit 
processors, but only running x86_64 flavors of Fedora Core.

# chkconfig --list cpuspeed
cpuspeed        0:off   1:on    2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

# chkconfig --level 12345 cpuspeed off
