Just got the Averatec laptop listed here: Averatec @ Walmart

First I ran add/remove program to uninstall a bunch of pre-installed stuff and noticed an Athlon64 Processor Driver.

So I ran dxdiag and for the cpu got: "AMD Opteron processor Dublin, 2800+, MMX, 3DNOW, ~1.6ghz

The label on the computer says AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ and those are clocked >2ghz to my knowledge.
 
It's one of the 32-bit only Athlon64s. In reality it's an A64, but for marketing purposes it's an XP.
 
It's a 1.6GHz A64 with 64 bit disabled and instead of 1MB cache, it has 128k for the 2800+ and 256k for the 3000+ XP-M.
