I can reproduce this: a non-overclocked Core 2 Duo E8500 running Hardy has two speeds available: 2.00 GHz and 3.00 GHz. The actual speed of 3.16GHz can only be obtained by disabling frequency scaling in the BIOS settings.

The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 2.00 GHz. analyzing CPU 1: driver: acpi-cpufreq CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 1 hardware limits: 2.00 GHz - 3.00 GHz available frequency steps: 3.00 GHz, 2.00 GHz available cpufreq governors: userspace, powersave, ondemand, conservative, performance current policy: frequency should be within 2.00 GHz and 3.00 GHz.
