| Re: win 7 changing hardware specs Well I dont really know, I would of thought logically tho there would be some sort of CPUID table in the BIOS so that said BIOS knew what the CPU was, ie 0101 points to table 1 item 1, "AMD Athlon x2 4200" for instance, now if you were to edit the table so that 0101 reads "Trig's Uber CPU" instead that'd sort it. Having never done anything like this I wouldnt have a clue as to what editor to use and everything I've said is completely guessed, its just logically how I would expect it to work, simplified. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

| Re: win 7 changing hardware specs Is this related to your question about selling a windows 7 RC system? Selling a computer under the pretense that it's different to the actual specification is illegal. |

OP, please give us a legimate reason why you would need to make these changes to the reflected CPU?

| Re: win 7 changing hardware specs Since you're asking about selling a computer on another thread, I'm assuming this could be the same computer in which case changing any of the specs listed in order to make more money is illegal ie false advertising. |
