    What did you buy? From your sig I am guessing the T5600. When making processors, Intel only manufactures the highest end one, and the low end ones are the ones that fail quality control for the higher level. Your T5600 was a T7400, not sure why it registers as the T7400 though.

    Yeah that is pretty interesting.
    Is it a glitch with Windows Experience Index or do you really have a T5600 and somehow its reconized as a t7400?
