Dell CPU upgrade question...
I bought a Dell with an Intel P8700 processor (2.53GHz, 3M L2 Cache, 1066Mhz FSB), but I got a good deal on an T9800 processor (6M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) so I decided to upgrade.
(Shh, don't tell Dell I swapped out the processor!) Anyway, Device Manager still shows the P8700 as the processor, but it registers as the T9800 in the BIOS. I'm assuming the BIOS is correct, but, because it's a Dell AND running Vista, I'm concerned that somehow, for some reason, the computer is being limited to the P8700 specs. Should I just ignore Device Manager?
