    I'm betting it is, because less processer power is neccessary when surfing the web as opposed to when playing a game.

    I believe it may havea system, cool and quiet, that lowers the power when it is not needed..
    but i never thought that a 3200 could get to 2.6

    AMD 3200+ can get 2,8 (with good cooling) I clocked mine to 2,4 :)
