The Mother Board

I have a one of these [I think]
Duron 1600
in a Matsonic MS8137C+ mobo, with 512Mb DDR PC2100.
Running be-yew-tifully... but I've just noticed that the first POST screen says I have an 'unknow CPU AMD 1900+'

I'm fairly certain I have the settings correct - and I don't want to go pulling things to pieces on the basis of 'if it ain't broken don't try to fix it'
Is it going to cause problems later on? The temps are fine - ~30 C for the CPU on a restart.
TIA

well...if it ain't broke...dont fix it.
i would benchmark it with sisoft sandra and see what you get. as long as it doesn't fall below comparable systems at that speed, i would leave it.
a true, sure fire way, run it stock and then benchmark. then run it OC'ed and benchmark. as long as you see a better score when OC'ed, then your not flooding the data pipe with errors.
if it scores lower, then go with the stock speed as your running better.
post your results, good luck

PS, just bench the CPU and the memory as it is what will be stressed.

PS... im gonna break 4ghz easily....

It's recognised as an Athlon XP 1600 by Windows [it might be - I just thought it was a Duron], but I don't know how to get BIOS to recognise it properly.

Probably need a BIOS update. I know there are some boards that will run with unrecognized CPU's but produce errors on POST. evasive had one a while back that complained of no microcode (i.e. he installed a Celeron in a system that only liked P4's)...
