I bought an AMD Athlon 64 6000+ Processor, and it was 3.1Ghz, now when I look it says 2.4 Ghz, have I lost speed or is this a power saving feature as some people have said it is?
That's normal. Processor's energy saving feature is enabled and working. That means reduced speed at idle then full speed when there is processor load. AMD calls it Cool n Quiet technology. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInforma...
yea mine is labled as a AMD X2 Duel Core 64Bit 3.2 and its registering as 2.4X2 if i overclock i can get it to 4.2X2 without is causing to much problems its just to save power if you open more programmes you can see a difference in performance and it will introduce the rest of the power.

The processor won't run at full power unless it is under a full load, so yes, its an efficiency feature.
