That's funny, I have a 6 year old dell dimensions xps90 and I have the
same problem. I've found that if I power off the system for 10 or 20
seconds then power it back on it almost always comes back with the
correct clock speed. I too think it's a quirk of this old classic, I've
never seen any other dells with this quirk.
