I have an AMD Mobile XP cpu. Windows (and Bios) say unknown CPU type.

From the AMD WEB Site:

"Microsoft optimized the DirectX 8.0 interface for Windows XP specifically for the AMD Athlon XP processor. The AMD Athlon XP processor’s innovative QuantiSpeed architecture helps propel Windows XP application performance to a new level. To unleash the rich features found in Windows XP, AMD and Microsoft worked together to optimize applications like Media Encoder 8.0 for AMD’s 3DNow! Professional technology."

Does windows have to know that an AMD XP is present to take advantage of the features above or are they just there anyway?

Thank you!
