With what you posted if effective clock: 503MHz
was effective clock: 533MHz I'd guess you have a
Intel Pentium 4, 2400 MHz CPU??-someone else may be able to figure this out.

Also you said "i didn't uninstall directx 9 because i don't know where to go to do that."
When it was suggested that you RE-install DX9.
