p4 and win98

[reptilej]

ok, i just got my p4 and installed win 98 on it. it doesn't even know how to recognize it as a p4 and just clasifies it as a pIII(my bios says it is p4). Does win98 recognize p4? will another os better utilize my new p4?

repeat after me, we are all individuals!

Make sure you have all the windows updates. If you don't you could have a version of 98 that was made before the P4 was even released. So how could it identify it if it never knew it would exist?

Also, there is a CPU id program out there. I forget the name, but I'm sure someone (hint hint) can provide a link to it.

at least upgrade to win 98 se... mine sees my p4 as an x86 family 15 model 2 step 4 in my computer (which has been renamed as Interossitor-4 by me as it is the 4th system I have built for my own use from scratch since my first pentium 66

There is no problem there, Win98SE uses the P4 as effectively as it used the PIII or any other compatable processor.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
