    Sticker on my system says that I have the following:
    Intel Pentium M 715 (1.5 GHz, 400MHz FSB, 2mb L2 cache)

    Using Belarc advisor it says I have:
    1300 megahertz Intel Pentium III
    32 kilobyte primary memory cache
    2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache

    1.3 GHZ P3?

    Also, using 3dmark it says I ahve a moble 9600 pro. But the sticker says I should have a moble 9700. Any idea why this is?

    Thanks gang!

    4501WLMi is out of production, but where did you buy it?

    Anyways - no clue about the Belarc advisor, but check your system info, My computer -> system info on left sidebar

    Not sure about the videocard though, but i do know its a 64mb dedicated(since i was desperately searching for this EOP notebook without sucess). However i do think it was 9600...

    goodluck

    Try CPUZ and find out the correct details http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpu-z-127.zip

    Since pentium M architecture was based on 686(piii) it might be the reson for displaying the it as piii

    The new software should fix your problem. Pentium M CPU's are still fairly new and the utility you're using is probably an older version. Therefore it's not going to recognize the CPU correctly.
