    Hi,

    I got my VPCF119FX 2 days back. I found something odd in the dxdiag system info.The processor name is appearing in a stupid manner. Could someone tell me if this is a problem? Please have a look at the attachment in the line where processor name is listed. Could this be due to the dxdaig being 32 bit and the OS being 64?
