Should have read your profile!!
Shame about the Datum, however in my experience that place goes through a transformation every 3 years or so, so it may revert to type in the future.
Mobo and Windows now saying the CPU is an Athlon 1100 running at 1.09. There is an Athlon 3200+ Barton in there.
Is this because:
a) I flashed the BIOS and the new one doesnt recognise the chip. If so can this be rectified and also if so is the PC running slower?
b) At some point the chip has overheated and now only works at a slower speed? I did take the heatsink and fan off the chip a few weeks ago to find a shed load of clogged dust covering about a third of the heatsink. A browse of Ebay may be in order!
