When I went to view the computer thru Boinc the description of its processor is -for lack of a better word- "mangled." Take a look at what it shows for the CPU type...anyone else experience this? Is there a prob on my end or does BOINC just not recognize this kind of AMD?

You got one of those processors? ;-) Yeah - built it meself from vacuum tubes and telephone wires. Couldn't figure out what to call it so I went with that. Odd name huh? Don't know why it shows up as that...very strange. ID: 1631 ·
