Wrong values for processor in device manager
Odd one upgraded for an amd 5200 to a 6000. Device manager shows the 5200
still. BIOS recognises it as a 6000, so does other cpu recognition software ie NVIDIA ntune, cpuz etc. Any ideas??? |

I don't know that you need to worry it will run at the speed it is designed
to run it the OS does not change the speed of the CPU. "Shwoarma" wrote in message ... Odd one upgraded for an amd 5200 to a 6000. Device manager shows the 5200 still. BIOS recognises it as a 6000, so does other cpu recognition software ie NVIDIA ntune, cpuz etc. Any ideas??? |

This can be corrected. Maybe this will help:

I have a similar thing - I have a Sony Vaio TZ-150 which is specified as
U7500 at 1.06ghz. It appears as such on the Control PanelSystem screen, but under Device Manager Processors it appears as two U7600 @ 1.20ghz. Any idea where this comes from?
