How to change model Identifier

I just installed SnowOSX Universal 3.6, and now my machine is reconized as a 3ghz iMac? My computer I know is a 2.2Ghz machine, and its a laptop so it should read as a MacBook or Macbook pro. Any suggestions?

Use a plist called SMBios.plist, and change the strings there and put in the Extras folder of chameleon.
