Look up chip here, one of the 4200+ tray part numbers should match the first line on your CPU. I got a ADA4200DAA5BV when I ordered mine little over 5 months ago. In Windows try CPU-Z.

Sorry don't really know anything about that board.
Besides having 2 cpu usage graphs, I see the CPU name twice in Dev, Mngr (view by connection).

if it says 4400+ in CPU-Z, it would have taken more effort to change the internal name then it would have to just buy a 4200+ to resell. if it says 4200+ and is running at 2.2ghz, you should not worry.

Perhaps because he has: 1) No intention of running in SLI (did anyone ask?); 2) he wanted more usable slots. -Adam
