I believe ours was that way also.

If you have the book for it (or check the MB itself), search under the model
on the internet, which will hopefully give you updated specs and settings.
Ours, for example is a P5V580-AT and searching using only that at altavista
gave us all the info we needed. I did have to confirm that it was an AT-T
(they had three different AT models and ours wasn't marked). But in searching
I found that the composition of the number refers to the manufacturer and
chipset and there were a couple pages with a lot of detail on that. From the
manufacturer's pages, we found all the settings needed for the new processor.

Good luck in your upgrade.
