Use WCPUID and it will tell you. Can't make it clickable, but here you have where to download:

If it says 0.18ì its a Palomino
If it says 0.13ì its a Thoroughbred

If you still dont understand....than shut off the computer...take the Heatsink/Fan off...and look at the die of the CPU.....if it looks like almost a Perfect Square and has writting in the top...its a Palomino....if it looks like a smaller Rectangle with no writting on the top but has a little sticker that says "A1900xxx" etc on it...than its a Thoroughbred.....

Does this help ???
