basicly, im either going insane or my cpu speed is fluctuating.

im looking for something i can run in the background that will record the high/low clocks.

Try RMClock: http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
How much is the frequency fluctuating?

hard to say.

i was useing cpuz 1.38 last night and it was going anywhere from 1956 to 2006. then i opend a second instance and it was reading 2001 on one instance and 1956 on the other.

i updated to 1.40 and now its reading 2000 with a .4 movement. im getting random slowdowns in games though and its acting like my cpu speeds just tanked for half a second.

*edit*
just started running rightmark and this looks like its exactly what i was looking for. thanks.

Just a question tad on subject:

Is it normal for, say, a 3.2 Ghz CPU to idle at ~2.2 Ghz?

if you have cool and quiet or whatever its called enabled, then yes it is.

Yes, by defualt most new processors "throttle" unless you tell them not to.
