    I just finished downgrading my Sony FZ340 to XP and everything works perfect EXCEPT I noticed the processor says it is a T7250 @ 2.00Ghz instead of the T7700 the unit has.
    I can not figure out how to change it!!
    HELP PLEASE!!!!! :confused:

    Update your Bios and see if that works.

    Are you getting this information from system info in the control panel or program like CPU-Z?

    We had a similar problem a while back but it was never resolved :( I'm guessing you installed the wrong driver for your cpu. Use cpu-z to check what speed you are running at.

    Try installing the XP multi-core patch.

    Just uninstall the CPU from the device manager and re-start your laptop.
