Why is my 2.0 running at only 1.5?

I'm running the coreduotemp program and its 63 C. It says my macbook is only running 1.5 GHz instead of 2.0. How do I run it at 2.0?

The processor will run at different speeds depending on the load you're putting on it. Crack open Photoshop and a few other programs and put them to work - it should go up to 2.0GHz then.

Thanks, I thought I was going crazy. It did go up after I opened up a few programs.

Open up two Terminal windows and run "yes > /dev/null/" without the quotes in each window and see what happens.
