guys yesterday i bought a SONY VAIO LAPTOP from bestbuy its VGN-AR320E model it says it has a INTEL CORE 2 DUO T5500 AT 1.67 MHZ but when i go to device manager in windows vista and look under processors it says i have INTEL CORE 2 DUO T7200 TWICE...so my question is do i really have the T7200 CPU and its clocked down to a T5500 also when u go to my computer click on properties it says its a T5500 only in device manager it says T7200?????

ok ran it it says T5500 @1.66 MHZ hmm just when u click device manager does it sayd T7200 2.0 mhz AND WHEN U CLICK ON PROCESSOR DOES IT SAY T7200 twice i was wondering if sony maybe gave me a T7200 and its running at T5500 SPEED so maybe i could maybe unlock it to run at that speed but that programu sent me does say T5500
