I originally didn't overclock my CPU when I built my gentoo system and it's a P4 @ 3GHz.
I just overclocked it to (226x15) 3.2GHz from original (200x15) 3.0GHz and uname -a reports:

Linux hostname 2.6.14-gentoo-r5 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 29 16:14:50 CST 2005 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

So I guess my question is my system running at 3.2GHz?
How can I update uname to show the 3.2GHz?

Your system is runing at 3395Mhz, according to the output of /proc/cpuinfo:

Uname -a tells you 3.00GHz becuse it is part of your CPU's name. Note the difference ;)

What uname shows you is the model name, not the current CPU freq. AFAIK, you can't change this.
