I have a Compaq Presario C505TU laptop.I wanted to see the processor name.But windows system properties shows just GenuineIntel etc etc and that kinda crap.So a friend told me to see cpu-z.It shows Core DUO T 2050 1.60Ghz.But Everest shows Moblie Celeron Dual Core @ 1.60GHz. And Intel CPU verification tool shows Pentium D 2060 @ 1.60GHz.



What the hell is this??
What processor am I using???:confused:
Any idea?
Any answers?:confused:

Well i were u i only rely on CPU-Z (latest version)
Because i m running my RAMs in Dual channel and Windows and Everest shows 512 MB and Everest says i have 2X256MB and in SPD it says 512 & 512 slot.
The only one is CPU-Z which says the truth.
