CPU GFlops

"How would one such as myself go about increasing his CPU's GFlops" first off GigaFlops is not related to the CPU directly It is related to the system as a whole. Overclocking may help but not garinteed.

things that effect the number of flops a computer can run are:

• CPU Speed
• CPU Cache Size
• CPU Cache Speeds
• Number of cores on the CPU
• Number of threads
• Architecture of the CPU (how many pipeline stages it has and how many logic blocks are super scaled)
• Does the CPU have a hardware FPU built in?
• FSB speed
• Current Running Tasks
• Memory Amount
• Memory Speed
• Hard Drive speed (to a lesser degree)
• and so many more things

So how can you get more flops out of your computer? Well make sure you have no bottle necks, make sure your system has high end parts, make sure you have correct system drivers, and more.

Yes, it is normaly that it still reports the Stock speed, if you are unsure run Intel's PID software.

Overclocks never show, since it is the processor that rerports the speed as part of the name, not it's true speed.
