Perhaps you have "Cool'n'Quiet™" enabled in your BIOS.
Also check and see in your XP32 >> Control Panel >> Power Options if the power
scheme "Minimal Power Management" is enabled. If it is enabled it makes
sense that your XP32 reports a cpu frequency much lower than the "maximum".

I have also noticed that XP X64 reports the maximum frequency of my AMD64
(constantly 2.00Ghz) while XP32 with "Minimal Power Management" enabled
the system reports the frequency reached at the precise moment of checking
the
frequency. (sometimes lower somtimes higher)
also try the "AMD CPUInfo", This application also shows the maximum speed of
the processor, even if your XP system reports other (lower) speeds
