Intel Processor Identification Utility

I found a great utility from Intel that will tell you everything you wanted to know about that little silicon chip in your system that makes it run. Intel has two Processor Identification Utilities, one is for the new processor architecture and the other is for the old processor architecture. The general rule is Pentium IV and later processors use the Processor Identification Utility and processors older than Pentium IV will use the Processor Frequency ID Utility. To find out what utility to use, go to this page on Intel's website:
