Default Intel 530 Vs Intel 531?

Ok. I got my new motherboard and CPU yesterday, and installed it all, and it all funs nice and fast and pretty and all that crap.

I ordered a ASRock Motherboard, and an Intel 530 processor.

I got an ASRock Motherboard, and an Intel 531 processor.

Intel Pentium 4 530 CPU: Socket-T (775LGA) 3.0GHZ 800MHZ Bus 1024k L2 Cache
Intel Pentium 4 531 CPU: Socket-T (775LGA) 3.0GHZ 800MHZ Bus 1024k L2 Cache

Am I missing somthing here? The only difference I could possibly think of is a different set of instructions. The 531 has EM64T, and so far I have not seen anything on the 530, which means I could either be right or wrong,I don't know. If anybody here has an Intel Pentium 4 530 please let me know, and I will send you instructions on how to find out what instruction sets the CPU is capable of.

This is a pretty tough one,I can't figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

EM64T was the difference.

You can go to this site to get a utility to identify the processor and what it has in it. Then just cmpare tech sheets..
