ian,

Go to http://www.newertech.com, click on the "Downloads" button on the 
left side, click on "Guage Utilities" and download "Clockometer". This 
will give you an accurate measurement of your CPU's clock. You can also 
try "Cache-22" to see if your L2 cache is really being enabled. If it 
shows up at 400MHz, then it's working properly.
