Boinc is reporting the same thing as CPU-Z does under the Specification entry.

BOINC is just repeating what the processor told it its model name and number is.

CPU-Z shows what the processor reported about itself in the specification field. In effect, the processor doesn't really know what it is. CPU-Z appears to have an internal table that maps the unknown parts with information humans know about.

By chance, is there an update for the motherboards BIOS?

Well, this system was built with parts from 3 'thrown away's'.
The MB is an ABIT, last FW from 2008, last three updates have nothing to do with CPU.
The CPU was taken from a Shuttle; but as far as I can remember, this systam also did not report a cpu-type (in win xp).
All in all it was a cheap system ( 0.- €, 2hrs of work), it works, all parts are outdated (DDR2, IDE HD). It's not worth to invest too much effort in fixing this (just if it's a wrong entry in an lookup-table or anything else which could be fixed in minutes).

But anyway, thanks for the effort.
