Default 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.

processor.

Processor Identification is also related to the bios settings.

This can be corrected. Maybe this will help:

Device Manager does not show updated processor information on a Windows
Vista-based computer -

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?
