nihilist:
If it runs slower than spec, it is one of two things: SpeedStep (throttles automatically when not in use), or it is too hot, and downclocking itself so that it runs.

I have a similar problem with my older Shuttle.  The fans aren't running fast enough, so everything is sitting at 70c in the damn case.  It's hot to the touch.  I should do something about that...

dennis:
You might have the mobile version of the processor, which is almost indistinguishable from the desktop version. The problem arises when you're using the mobile version in a mobo that isn't designed for it--it automatically downclocks and stays there. This is exactly the problem my roommate has, who accidentally bought the M version.
