I've recently bought a Lenovo Q180 nettop but yesterday decided to swap the 5400RPM hard drive for a 64GB Crucial M4 SSD!

The Windows 7 installation has gone fine, I managed to get all of the unit's drivers off the Lenovo website but when I've come to have a look at the graphics card in device manager and it's reporting it as an "AMD Radeon HD 6400 Series" whereas the machine actually has a HD7450 in it!?!?!

I downloaded the graphics drivers from AMD directly so I can't understand why it's giving me the wrong model???

Anyone have any ideas??
 
I've been back on the website I bought it from and it definitely says it's a HD7450!

Plus I can't imagine I wouldn't have checked when I first got it that it didn't have the right specs! (although I'm not 100% sure!)

I've done a bit of reading and the 7450 is apparently a rebranded 6400 so I guess that could explain it maybe???

The performance doesn't seem to be affected except in the menu in XBMC!?!?!? (although movies play perfectly!!!)

:confused:

Anyone got any ideas??
 
As you said 7450 is literally a renamed 6400. Lenovo's modded version of the driver (from their support site) will show 7450, but it's better to use the AMD driver.
