***UPDATE: APPARENTLY THE CPU IS AN ENGINEERING SAMPLE***
Sooo . . . what does it mean? Does it make it a novelty item? Per this thread it makes it sound like technically speaking the cpu is the property of intel and of course I cannot sell this item at the FS/T forums (of AT, at least).
Should I contact Dell about this and potentially trade it in? Should I be concerned about its reliability?
***
Kind of an oddball question:
- I just a got a new (refurbished) Dell Studio 14 and traded in my other laptop (never again, HP!)
- The system specs on the system that I've ordered said core i3-330 w/ 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530
Once the system arrived, it;
a.) Has the core i5 sticker on the system
b.) Is labeled Intel 000 Processor in the system screen w/ 512MD ATI 540v (which is pretty much just a rebranded 4350 I figure)
- It runs just fine and of course a sticker is just a sticker, but how do I find out which cpu this laptop is really carrying? I've installed cpu-z and I think I have it figured out, but I want to be sure . . ..
