    Then either you made a mistake and ordered the higher one, or Lenovo gave you the higher one by mistake.

    Either way, be happy that you got an upgrade for free.

    What does Windows System Properties say? Right click my computer, click properties.

    For some reason I never really trusted PC Wizard. It reminds me of Norton for some reason. <shivers>

    CPU-Z is a more reliable source of info.

    If the system properties says T7300, then it's a T7300.

    I think you have a T7500. Keep in mind that all Intel mobile CPUs have SpeedStep in one form or another. I know that my T7200 goes from 2.00 to 1.86 to 1 (I use RMClock so it has a couple steps in between, I dont remember the exact steps but I do know 2.00, 1.86, and 1.00 Ghz are 3 of the ?? speeds it runs at). Perhaps when you ran the program it was not at its full speed?

    Like Tailic said, use CPU-Z. It is very popular and widely used for CPU identification.

    It probably saw your cpu overclocking the single core and became confused.
