Yes, the problem is still the same under Lucid - all latest updates:

Linux thundercat 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:20:59 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Still the same machine and same processor ... have upgraded throughout and no change.
 9.10 full reinstall
10.04 synaptic upgrade

CPU has been overclocked from stock 3.00GHz to 3.60GHz.
This can be confirmed through dmidecode (output attached).
cpuinfo (and related utilities) all report the stock CPU speeds instead.

This is only a visual/reporting issue. The CPU is still throttling correctly, and the speed is correct as per the overclocking ratio.

i.e. (tested and confirmed in benchmarks & Bogomips)
Reported 2.00Ghz = (3.6/3.0 * 2.0) = 2.40GHz True Clock Speed
Reported 3.00Ghz = (3.6/3.0 * 3.0) = 3.60GHz True Clock Speed

Fully up to date BIOS, (ASUS P5Q) - BIOS options standard except for overclock.

Output of dmidecode and cpuinfo attached.
