Cal:
I do apologize for the confusion that my unfortunate quoted comment arose.
English is not my native language (it is Spanish) and after re-reading my
post I notice that it might have been misinterpreted by its improper writing.
"just looked the mobo manual" was by no means a suggestion for you.
It meant "I have just read the motherboard manual".
I was trying to point out that in my case, which is not yours, there are
specific settings in BIOS regarding the subject in question.
Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

If you don't have anything useful to say why waste time by a silly,
pretentious and useless post?

Mi BIOS (ASUS A8N-SLI) has "AMD K8 Cool 'N Quiet control" option.
Just looked the mobo manual.

I think the throttle thing has to be enabled in BIOS, or have to
have
installed an AMD utility (CPU cool?) in order to allow the
lowering
of
the
frequency.
Otherwise it is not enabled by default.

1.- How do you know that your 3400+ is running at 800 Mhz?
2.- What does your BIOS say upon boot? It might not be Vista
the
one
to
look
but your BIOS settings might be wrong.
3.- Download and install CPU-Z (http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php)
and
check
the
info it provides about your processor.

Great!

From reading your other posts, you seemed like a very nice and helpful
person, and was very surprised that, what to me, seemed like a derogatory
snipe.

Sorry for my mistake.

But you realize, of course, everyone's primary purpose in these newsgroups
is not to be helpful, but to prove our boundless infallible knowledge, and
above all to protect our egos.
