AMD FX51 running at 801MHz

I just installed Windows XP Home on a new computer with an AMD FX51
processor and an MSI K8T Master motherboard. In the proporties under
my computer it says that the processor is an AMD FX51 running at
~801MHz. Does anyone know if this is an error with XP or the
motherboard not recognizing the processor because it's 64 bit and it's
really running at 2.2GHz or is the processor really only running at
801MHz?
