Hello,

I recently bought a AMD Athlon 64 3200 Venice CPU. But as I have read around the internet, if I didn't buy from a much trusted vendor (which I didn't) then I may have received an older chipset. Is there a way to check if my CPU is actually a Venice instead of the older versions?? Sorry if this is a noob question.
