Computers may be fast, but they sure are dumb! :p

In this case it's the OS that doesn't know what it's running on. Windows quite often gets it wrong with AMD CPUs.

If intending to update the BIOS,
Be sure to use the correct one since there are various revisions of the NF7.

The right call. It's an older BIOS not reporting the CPU correctly.

You can use the following free utility to identify your processor:

CPU-Z

You can also manually enter the cpu information in the registry.

Windows registry for CPU information.

Windows XP registry has basic CPU info in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\Cen tralProcessor\0

Well what do you expect? Mobile cpus are used in laptops.
