Bought a brand new Compaq Presario AMD Sempron 3500+. Has an ATI Radeon Express card integrated. I am updating the card, but when I go to scan my computer with processor tests, it fails. It states that I am running a 995. ghz I have had the processor tested at Nvidia, microsoft and PC tools, they all say I am running a laptop or unknown external. I have 1 gig ram, and just want to run the latest games, (mostly oblivion). I own a Compaq Presario 1720NX. I had to send back a Nvidia 6500, because it caused my brand new computer to fail. SO my question is. are those tests reliable? Is my processor bad? can I run new games on my computer?. Please use simple language. I'm a grandma and need things simple. Thanks so much.
