Please help

I have a :Amd 2800+xp

800 megahertz AMD Mobile Athlon XP-M
128 kilobyte primary memory cache
128 kilobyte secondary memory cache.

with an ELitegroup 755-A2 K8 AMD 754.
Geforce Fx6200 256mb
1.5gb 400mhz Ram
audigy2 S/C

I bought the CPU and motherboard as part of a bundle because i couldnt fix a fault with MSI board and chip .
Not knowing what the new CPU was i just saw the 2800+ because thats what i had before . Now i know that the "M" is ment for mobile and thus for Laptops only. As i have a desktop PC , i am suffering with high graphic games and multitasking . Is this the chips fault being a laptop chip ?

i believe that the mobile chips are undervolted and therefor under clocked so that it uses less power in wireless laptop when ur on the go...if its in ur desktop i would try overclocking it to a spec 2800+...possibly just the mulitiplier is affected..hum...not sure. But if u have suffient power thats what i would try...not sure if this was helpfull sorry if not...ok

first i would go on google or a forum and check what the spec voltage is for the cpu and ram and find out the spec clocking...then just go into the bios and change them so they match urs.
