QX6800 dell xps 420 bios not registering full title
I have installed a QX6800 cpu in my dell xps 420. the bios revision I have is A06 which is the latest for the motherboard, my dilemma is that in the bios it does not state qx6800 2.93GHZ but just core 2 quad (then a blank space where it should state QX6800) and the 2.93GHZ, as I had a Q6600 running and that was stated with its full title inc Q6600, also in windows welcome centre vista and device manager it just states quad core and 2.93ghz no sign of the QX6800 but there is a blank space as to where it sould state QX6800, please help as to what I can do so it states QX6800, in CPU Z it is recognised as the QX6800 so why not in the bios, I have a corsair HX520 PSU and also running a 8800 ultra which is recognised using its full title.

This is a bios issue and not the Chip. This has also occured on the 700/710/720 systems as well. It has nothing to do with the chip.
I agree when they write the bios's you would think they would write them to report the chips correctly.
