Unlocking Athlon II X3 to Phenom II X4
I just upgraded my system to Athlon II X3 440 with Asus M4N98TD EVO MoBo. My system was able to boot fine the very first time and I was able to unlock 4th core of my Proc. But instead of Athlon II X4 (as expected) the processor shows as Phenom II X4 B40. Is it OK? I thought Phenoms were Athlons with L3 cache enabled.
Also is there any method to revert back to Athlon II X3 from here? Will simple BIOS reset do the job?
