2.99 Ghz ?!?!

Sep 11, 2004 11:58AM PDT

I bought a 3.0Ghz Toshiba notebook with 512 RAM, but when I right click My Computer and click on properties, it displays 2.99Ghz and only 510MB of RAM? I know that doesn't really make a big difference, but I was wondering if there was a problem with the notebook or if that was normal.
