    so what CPU do I have?

    just went to device manager in my Vista Ultimate 64bit.. saw this:



    I think windows is confused
    I did upgrade from an E6600 to a Q6700, but you would think it would have caught on by now

    Never seen that. I'd remove the older one.
    Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.

      That reminds me of Win98 days when looking in safe mode could show several copies of devices.

            I am dual booting with XP now, but so far Vista can do most everything I wanted it to do.. Except for the excessive HDD usage it has, it works pretty good . even if it cannot recognize my CPU properly
            I will try removing and redetecting later, but was mostly just surprised to see it do this.. I thought it read the CPUID string out of the CPU every time it booted, as it is also used in their WGA program.. no?
