verifying my q9400

[TigerUK]

Just bought this the other week, xp recognises it as a intel pentium III Xeon. Which is beleive to be false.

The bootup says it's a 2.66Ghz chip (333x8)

How can I go about veryfing that what I paid for is what I actually received

Thanks

By what is says on the cpu?????

But that means taking it out again.

It does say q9400.. is that reliable?

Just run CPUZ or update XP and see if it changes.

Well a PIII is not going to fit a skt775 board so don't worry

Well, usually, PIIIs are a little slower than Q9400s xD

Thanks ran CPUZ, result! definately got a q9400..

Upgraded from a amd64 3000 1gb to a q9400 4gb... speed improvement is blistering..
