Processor version

[gkrieger]

Hello I am aware that it is possible to extract the processor version from windows XP. How do I do this under windows 2000. What I need is processor is P1 P2 P3 or P4.

Thanks

Right-click My Computer, Properties, and the Processor will show toward the bottom of the first screen. It's possible for the Pentium II on older computers to display as a Pentium Pro, which it replaced. The Pentium was never known officially as a Pentium 1 as there was no indication when it came out that there would be a II, III, or IV.

Could get Advisor from www.belarc.com and get all kinds of information.

Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement

The processor details are in this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\Cen tralProcessor\0
