I didn't know Via made a C7 on an EPIA board... or a C7 at all.

EDIT: Ahh, after googling, I found it. Interesting.

I never seen a C3 1.5ghz. The C3 stops at 1.3ghz. The C7 starts at 1.0ghz. Where did you purhcase it?

I just recently bought a c7 1.5ghz and I havent checked what its showing up as in windows but i bought mine at www.mini-box.com. I was also wondering what motherboard monitoring utilities you are using.

hi!
from bios i can read c3 1.5 ghz, but from utility cpu-z i read cpu c7 1.5 ghz!
what do you think?is right?

i would say that the cpu-z reading is the right one, I'm gonna take a look at mine tonight, I'm willing to bet that its a C7 since on the cpu-z site they just recently added support for the C7 and its a fairly new processor
