Upon reboot, I found the chip...

Hi there, I have replaced an 850 Duron with an Athlon 1400(133), mainly because it was free. I did realise at the time that it would only run at 10.5 x 100 on my Asus A7VI-VM. As this mobo has no multiplier control and is not stable above 103MHz FSB, can I alter the multiplier to 12.5 by...

I am new to the world of AMD processors and I would like to know - without opening the case - what type of processor is in the PC. When I check via the BIOS I see AMD Duron 1300, the vendor claims it's "AMD 1800+". Apparently rules are different compared with Intel so I am looking for the advice...
