Need to know the CPU type

open the case and check the motherboard. the motherboard is the limiting factor here. and you should also be able to see the cpu.

use WCPUID!

Use WCPUID, it will tell you all that stuff, and if you wan to check further, it will tell you if it's SSE enabled, which would mean PIII.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

get wcpuid at <A HREF="http://www.h-oda.com" target="_new">http://www.h-oda.com&lt;/A> and it will tell you all.

Well, stepping 6.7.3 tells that its a Pentium-III processor in slot1 (SECC2) package with 512k cache memory. Its FSB is 100 MHz, its difficult to say whether the board will support 133 MHz FSB. You can use a slotket converter to use any 100 MHz FSB processor, upto 850 MHz, that 850E, not 850EB or 850B - B indicates it has 133 MHz FSB.

The best solution is to open the case, see what chipset is in there and decide.

BTW what does the BIOS show when booting?


Get this P-III <A HREF="http://developer.intel.com/design/PentiumIII/qit/update..." target="_new">spec update</A> and you will get the details.

You probably have a older version of Windows that shows PII, still older versions will show P6 for all PentiumII, PentiumIII and Celeron processors!

Upgrade your windows too!
