Question:
Did I get the wrong Intel "sticker"?
I have an E1505 with a 1.83GHz Duo Core (Yonah) CPU, but the little sticker on my computer just says Intel Centrino - no mobile technolgy, no mention of being a Core Duo. Did I get the wrong sticker, the wrong CPU (nah...), or is that the right sticker?

Some stickers say "Intel Centrino" and then some say "Intel Centrino Duo"(thats how it is).
Centrino designation is dependant on the components that are within the notebook, you should of gotten the Duo sticker, but it seems not.

I think you can find out if you go to
start-->right click "My Computer"--> Properties
It should tell you what processor you have

I'm thinking I definitely got the wrong sticker...
EDIT: Though why is it everything says it's 1.83 GHz, but with RightMark and CPU-Z my Core Speed is always in the 998 MHz range? Is my Duo Core not working as a Duo Core?

You guys didnt get the wrong stickers. Centrino Duo means you have a Core duo processor, along with an Intel wireless card. Its like a teaming up of the two that make a set called Centrino. I have a core duo and an intel wireless card and I have the centrino duo sticker. Dont worry about it, its the right one.

Yeah you guys definitley got the wrong stickers, I have an Inspiron 6400 with a Intel Core Duo T2400 1.83Ghz with a Centrino Duo sticker. While you guys just have a Centrino sticker that's usually used on Core Solo notebooks.
You could give Dell a call and see if u can get those stickers mailed out to you or call Intel themselves, won't be much of a problem. You could just say that it's for future reasons like if you ever need to sell it and someone points it out, etc.

I spose it's fine for now... I'll have this computer for an awful long time. But at least getting the wrong sticker put on correctly is better than what happened to a friend of mine. She bought a Core Solo computer and they put the Intel Centrio Core Solo sticker on really askew, so that it looked like rubbish next to the Designed for XP sticker!
