Many board manufacturers have designed their initial Intel® 865 and 875 chipset-based motherboards to previous platform guidelines. These motherboards may not meet the currently required processor electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications. Some processors 3.20 GHz and above based on 90nm technology may only boot to 2.80 GHz. When this invalid configuration is detected, the processor will run at this slower frequency to reduce the chance of damage to the processor and/or motherboard.
Today, however, most vendors are now shipping boards that comply with the new revised guidelines that do address the electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications of these processors.
