Unexpected System Information

Hi everyone! Just got my e1505 less than 10 hrs ago. and first things first, how come i didnt receive the Backpack? is that supposed to be delivered separately? i'm really worried.
and now to the topic, just thought if i could check the system information according to the notebook forums. i ran Aida 32 and it shows 4 Default Monitors when i checked under the Display Configuration.
baffled and confused, i tried to run Belarc Advisor and it shows

Processor a
1.67 gigahertz Intel Pentium III
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
2048 kilobyte secondary memory cache

Board: Dell Inc. xxxx
Serial Number: .xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: Dell Inc. A06 06/09/2006

Now are these the results you guys get on your notebooks? how come its reporting PIII? and is that Bus Clock the FSB Speed?

Display
ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 [Display adapter]
Default Monitor (4x) (again no success with the make of the monitor)

i also checked out the regedit option , but that too shows a default monitor.

Now how can i check my FSB speed? and the make of the LCD? and are these results normal?
btw, the performance is brilliant, 2m digits of superpi in 1 min 16 secs.

The backpack ships separately... I got mine on the same day but not everyone does.

I dunno about the other stuff, but the low BUS speed may have something to do with the fact that the chip lowers the Mhz speed depending on the load in order to save battery.

There's no way you have a P3 in your laptop, your program is just reading it wrong. It probably doesn't support Core Duos. I like CPU-Z. The bus clock is fine too. The bus clock isn't lowered or raised, the CPU multiplier is.

Everything is fine. It is completely normal for the LCD to show up as multiple 'default monitor', because there is no specific drivers for the LCD it uses default Windows driver, hence why you get that. The displayed CPU & FSB is also fine; The program obviously has not been upgraded to recognise the new CPU's, and there is a multiplier for the FSB that brings it to spec.

Can't comment on the backpack.

Mine also had the same result. I initially thought 'what a gyp'.
