    You can change your processor name, its quite interesting, for example if you have an Intel P4 processor you can simply change the name as core i7 or any processor name which you wish. As you right click my computer and select properties there it would show the EDITED processor name, the one which you replaced.

    This is the way how you do it.


    Go to START

    then select RUN
    next you type there
    regedit and press enter,
    next double click on HKEY
    _LOCAL_MACHINE

    then double click on
    HARDWARE
    next double click on
    DESCRIPTION
    Then double click
    SYSTEM,
    next double click on
    CentralPROCESSOR
    Next single click (click only once) on
    0

    Now on the right side you will find ProcessorNameString, right click it and select modify, now type any processor name or any name you wish which must be as the processor name and finally select OK

    NOW YOU RIGHT CLICK MY COMPUTER THEN SELECT PROPERTIES AND CHECK YOU EDITED PROCESSOR NAME.

    Hope you all understood this tut
