139773 2003-04-29 06:19:00 I'd recommend a program such as CPU-Z or WCPUID for the task. -=JM=- (16)
139774 2003-04-29 06:36:00 Alternatively, remove the case from the computer.
Remove the processor and examine.
Check the manufacturer's website for further details.

Of course it is necessary to refit the processor before switching the computer on to access the Internet.

139776 2003-04-29 06:41:00 I would strongly recommend that you DON'T remove the CPU just to find out details about it.

It could permanently damage your CPU from the handling, or static.

139777 2003-04-29 06:54:00 while software like AIDA and WCPUID is great for finding out the cpu ifo it is possible for it to be fooled. sometimes overclocking and incorrect bios cpu id strings can mean it shows as a different cpu. checking the actual cpu is best but not always very easy due to having to clean thermal paste off to be able to read it. tweak'e (174)
