can anyone explain why it doesnt say processor?

also when i mildly overclocked it to 2ghz it said prosu}sor



aside from this, it's very stable and passed prime95. Another thing to note is it is running on an epox 8RGA+ board (integrated GF4MX) using 2*256mb generic ddr400 modules running at 333mhz; Although i know this particular northbridge is picky about its RAM, it worked fine in prime and memtest with no errors, running 3dmark2001 fine too.

edit: the reason it says 448mb ram is because i have dedicated 64mb of it as a frame buffer for the integrated vga
 
I've read about this before. Don't worry about it...you're not the only one 😛

Have you downloaded the CPU driver update from the MS Updates site?
