If it says mhz, that's definitely not correct, totally different parameter.

Get CPU-Z

If his CPU was running at 3.5MHz, his system wouldn't even be running Windows.

Yes, what I'm saying is, (provided that's not a typo) maybe OP is looking at a totally different parameter, thinking it's the CPU clock speed.

Nothing I know of uses Hz except for frequency.
