Different CPU names on the same computer?

Featured Replies

When I open up My Computer's Properties, the CPU shows up as the Core 2 Quad, which is the correct one I bought for:

But when I go to run->dxdiag, it shows up as a different one:

Somethings wrong?

I think DXDIAG shows the exact information while my computer just shows the general stuff. I will check mine right now.

 

 

 

My Computer:

 

Intel® Core Duo CPU

 

T7500 @ 2.20 GHz

 

2.19GHz, 3.00 GB of RAM

 

 

 

DXDIAG

 

Intel® Core Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20 GHz (2 CPU's)

 

 

 

Nope... I am wrong about that.

 

 

 

Is this the original processor that came with the computer? Now I am thinking that possibly it might be reading an older processor or something.

Very odd :o

 

 

 

If there was a new CPU put in it should update itself, I know mine did when I added more RAM so I don't see why it wouldn't notice a new chip. Either that or something's quite wrong somewhere.

Lol, i've never seen that.

 

My only advice is to contact Intel or Microsoft

The funny thing is, it shows the correct name on my BIOS and Speedfan.

 

 

 

Maybe something is wrong with dxdiag?

Perhaps there's some kind of force refresh option for it. Although I can't find one, and googling didn't immediately come up with anything.

This is a custom built computer, it was the Core 2 Quad when I built it in, never changed with another CPU.

 

 

 

I dont know how the dxdiag got the random name of pentinum/xeon, I just don't want to get ripped off spending 200$ on a pentinum.

Its just because its a new CPU.

 

 

 

Ignore dxdiag and use CPU-Z instead \'

is your BIOS out of date? You could flash your BIOS eitht he current software and it should fix the problem. But Flahing your BIOS can cause permenant damage to your computer. So if it is not causeing a problem, I suggest leaving it.
