Hi all,

I need your help guys =) I have a weird problem, I'm not sure if this is important or not, but I just need your opinion or possible fixes.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-CR140E with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6834117533

that should normally have T7100 1.8Ghz processor.

However, when I check it in my "device manager" under processors, it shows T7300 2.0Ghz (both cores) instead of T7100 1.8Ghz. When I check it under system (where you can see the index rating or press "window key + Pause" ) it shows T7100. When I installed CPU-Z, it says T7100 too. It just shows T7300 in the device manager. Does anybody know why? It's sooo weird. =( Is this bad or dangerous, I'm pretty much sure that it's not overclocked. My bios doesn't have any overclocking options. Everything is running is default and stock speed.

This is the image:

If you can't view the image, I have uploaded it to photobucket, you can just view it from there. I've also attached an HTML code for the same photobucket address.

Thanks in advance. =)
