And as far as your problem, I say it's just Windows being stupid (what's new? (burnnnn...)). I'm not too sure that it really matters what Windows thinks your processor is, more of that your applications just run as fast as possible, and your processor handles it.
I'm not sure how familiar you are with Vista's power management, but I'm fairly sure that if Windows sees the processor as being slower than it really is then it won't allow it to run at full speed. I believe this isn't a problem in earlier versions, because they didn't try to regulate the CPU speed like Vista does.

EDIT: I'm guessing his computer has a bad graphics card. Remember Vista experience score is based on the lowest score, not an average.
