[AboutSystem] Sempron 3100+ recognised as Athon 64

[cb88]

The AboutSystem dialog displays AMD Athlon 64 on my Sempron 64

Also I had previously thought this was a 32bit cpu but cpuinfo says otherwise since it has the lm flag which is discribed in the cpufeature.h header of the Linux kernel (learned that much from Google anyway) ​http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/include/asm-i386/cpufeature.h

This has been this way for a long time and still there as of hrev32416

Likely fixed by hrev44216 ?

+1. I'd say this should be fixed post hrev44216.

If it is not, it actually may be expected. A lot of these Sempron cpu's have the exact same cpuid as Athlon cpuid's.

Either way, closing for now given how long it's been since we've seen a bug report on this. If it is still a problem on the current code, please submit a new ticket with updated info and reference this ticket.

I still have that board but its not in a computer right now... might check whenever I get some ram for it. Also there is the point that linux detects it correctly weather but cpuid or not I don't know.
