Where are micro instructions stored?

Microinstructions or microcode is found in the CPU.A feature on newer CPUs is the ability to patch microcode on the fly. That way, if the manufacturer turns out buggy CPUs, they don't have to recall them. The BIOS manufacturer would be given the patches to include in their BIOS instructions, so an older release of a particular CPU could then function similarly to the current version, even if it is a tad slower due to needing to use microcode to replace buggy hard-coded instructions.

Your processor is 2.6GB but show 1.6GB?

First, GHz. GB is a measure of number of bytes, not CPU speed. Many modern CPUs have a feature which enables the CPU to slow down when not in heavy use. AMD Athlon's "Cool 'n' Quiet" is an example of this technology. For example, you might have a 2.6GHz CPU but when you're only browsing the Internet or writing emails, it might slow down to 1.6GHz.
