Duron600 @ 700 at 600 settings?

What is up with this?? I just used the rear window defrost repair compound to unlock the multiplier on a Duron 600. I set the dip switches at what they are supposed to be for a Duron 600: 7X, 100bus, 1.625/1.65 volts. This is what the manual says anyway and that is what I set it to. I got everything back together and it booted up normal and everything is working great, but at boot up I noticed the bios registering it as a 700 Duron. I then went into Sandra to see what it said and it confirmed this. Sandra said the multiplier is at 7X but the speed is 700. I ran the bench mark and it is a lot better than the 600 was the last time I ran it. What am I missing???
 
Never mind. My manual is miss printed. I checked the website and it is 6X for the 600 6.5X for 650 7X for the 700. My manual Says 7X for the 600 7.5X for the 750 and 8X for the 850 Duron.


I guess this means I succesfully unlocked it though. Anyone with a A7V watch out for this in the manual.
