Intel Pentium D 2.8 gHtz Socket 775 reports it's an AMD 64x2 !
Hello Fellow Nerdist.
I have an odd one here. I have a P5LP-LE motherboard that was shoehorned into an older HP A1412n Case. it is socket 775 and has a Pentium D 2.8GHz processor. In windows 7, Linux Mint Live CD and MRI Live CD by Eurosoft it is reporting that it is an AMD 64x2. I have never seen a processor with an Identity crisis like this before. I am going to toss in an Intel Pentium 4 or a dual core but my question is could this be a Motherboard Issue? Could I bork my test chip? (even though that's why I use a test chip first)
