mr mark and all, it may be of interest to read what Pitstop says about wrong BIOS information...

FREQUENTLY ERRONEOUS SMBIOS DATA

The following SMBIOS fields are frequently wrong:

Manufacturer and Model
Processor clock speed
Number of memory slots
Size of processor/memory cache
Maximum memory module size
Case style (desktop, tower, etc.)

This is from the readme file in their BIOS test software.
Especially white boxes show wrong info, they say.
