Dell Pentium Pro

What is the second number in my system properties after the CPU description?
Windows XP Pro on a Dell D600 with a Pentium M 1.6 processor.
In system properties the computer information shows:
Intel(R) Pentium(R) M
processor 1600MHz
599 MHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
I don't quite understand the 599 MHz. I'm assuming this is the actual CPU speed of the Pentium M.
The reason for the question is that I am having problems with the software bogging down and running sluggish. I checked another laptop in the department with the same specs and it shows 1.2 GHz. Why is mine showing 599? Could this be the problem? How do I fix it?
The helpdesk told me that I just had a slower CPU. I know this is incorrect, but don't know what to do.
Any ideas, please.
Go to Start --> Control Panel --> Power Options.
In Power Schemes, set it to Desktop.
In portable/laptop mode, the CPU is slowed down to reduce power drain. If set to Desktop, it will bring you back up to full speed, but it will reduce the battery life.
Hope this helps.
