What you describe does not match the screen shot you supplied.

The screen shot shows 1% CPU usage (very low) and 93% maximum frequency. If
the CPU chart showed 100% maximum frequency it would be invisible as it
would be at the very top of the chart.

Additionally, go here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../cc771692.aspx and read about the
CPU display

..
CPU
CPU displays the total percentage of CPU capacity currently in use in
green, and displays the CPU Maximum Frequency in blue.

Note
Some laptop computers will reduce the Maximum Frequency of the CPU when the
computer is not connected to an AC power supply to reduce battery usage.
