Hi,
The bios of the motherboard in my pc (a Gigabyte 965G-DS3) says the
processor can go no faster than 2.133GHz while in reality this is 2.6GHz
(it is an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz). No newer bios is
available so I was thinking: maybe an override switch can be added?
Losing 0.5GHz is a bit of a waste.

Nothing to do with the kernel, your mobo is 1066MHz and the Q9450 is
1333Mhz bus, you could have bought a Q6700 for 2.66GHz on 1066MHz bus
operation.
