Where is processor name filled in?

Hi,

There are many programs, which get our processor name (e.g. "QuadCore Intel Core 2 Q9550, 2833 MHz (8.5 x 333)" in Everest). I wonder if I could deceive these programs by changing some variable (in register?), so programs couldn't get my real processor name.

Thanks

I don't think you would be able to. I think that your processor name is written inside of your BIOS. I guess you could try making your own BIOS but i wouldn't recommend it.

Of all the things I can think of that I might want to hide, the processor name isn't even close to one of them. Maybe if he takes it out and pries it apart he can find it under a magnifying glass and scrape it off :>

i think he is testing if the programs are actually that good, not just getting it from vista.
(i think that is along the lines:p)

Well either way he'll have to change the BIOS right? Doesn't Vista get it from the BIOS and then the program for Vista?
