Recently i bought a CPU/mobo combo. The motherboard that it can with stated on the box and the manual that it was a Nvidia geforce 7050/nforce630a but when i went to nvidia to download drivers it said it was a nvidia nforce560 so to make sure nvidia wasn't just goofing off i downloaded PC wizard 2008 and i too said my chip set was 560. To be exact It said-

North Bridge(SPP):nVidia nForce 560
South Bridge (MCP) :nVidia nForce 630a

North Bridge Information :
Architecture : Northbridge
Manufacturer : nVidia (Elitegroup Computer Sys)
Codename : MCP68
Revision : A2

What confused me was that even though my north bridge was a 560 the code name was mcp68 which is to my knowledge the codename for the 630a. So is my motherboard identifying itself wrong or did realy lie?And forgive me if this is a stupid question for still somwhat new to the whole mobo stuff.
