I think you forgot the box labeled "CodeName" but i'm guessing you've got the ThoroughbreadB based on the size of the L2. The clock speed translates to roughly something in the ballpark of an XP2500 (Thoroughbred) or XP2600 (Barton) ... was that what you bought?

It just says 'thoroughbred'. I actually bought a straight forward XP2400 which is the most my mobo will take. I toyed with the idea of getting a barton XP3200+ but it would have meant upgrading the mobo as well which would have cost £200+ rather than £76.
So do you think I need to upgrade my BIOS? Everything seems to be running fine so I don't want to do it unless neccessary.

Everything seems to be in working order No need to fix anything yet
