win 7 changing hardware specs

[[GSV]Trig]

Nice welcome guys, maybe there is a fair reason why he'd want to change it, we dont even know what its being changed too or why yet everyone seems rather quick to jump on the burn him bandwagon...

He's a witch!

(I agree with GSV Trig)

first of all dont make assumption im not stupid enough to give someone a pc with fake specs specially if they gona open it up and check the hardware


the real reason is tht i got a q6600 just changed from an e2200 and its showing it as an e6600 so i want to change the name

So that is not trying to "change the name" that is trying to enable to two remaining cores. Why don't you tell us what your motherboard is. It is possible it doesn't support Quad Cores.

Say what you mean next time. Seriously, we can't help you with a problem if we don't know what it is.

DESCRIPTION
System
CentralProcessor

Change "ProcessorNameString" to whatever name (right click, "modify")

[[GSV]Trig]

Change your BIOS, if your board manuf says it supports quad core then your probably on an older BIOS that does have the correct CPUID tables or whatever it is, this could lead not only to it being wrong as far the the name is concerned but also the multiplier/FSB/voltages could also be wrong..
