i have 2 processors at home looking like intel pentium 2's i guess one has the heatsink stuck to the top of it the other is just fine though

is there anyway i can find out what they are and how fast they are by those numbers on the front and back?

what are the numbers..... i will tell you

email me at whitevan87@yahoo.com. i can send you a program that helped me out on more that one ocassion

We've reached the pinnicle of n00bishness here. Taz, control your minions.

Eastwing programs only work if you have the procs installed. From his post I am sure he does not have them installed. As for The question.. You can go to intels site and cross refrence the cpu id numbers to tell what they are if in fact they are intel chips..

to BA and Bio,
if i did somthing wrong let me know. the sotware i spoke about is shareware and it can help to identify unknown hardware. you just run it an it can help you fiure out what you got in your rig if you dont know.

And how is he supposed to run that software if he doesnt have it installed?

Read Bio's post more carefully.

well, me thinks i'll just shut my mouth now,

We all make mistakes, don't worry about it.
It's part of the noob process.

Don't worry bro not a big deal. The first thing that came to my mind was having him hook it up and run WCPUID too see but I paid attention to his post and he does not have them installed so I suggested he refrence the numbers to intels website..You just have to pay attention to how people word thier posts..

if uyou think they're p2's, then they are a slot type cpu with a plasic cartridge around them. on the TOP of the plastic cart, (opposite end with the pins, the narrow part not the wide part) there should be a bunch of small number printed on it in a gold font. the top line will tell you all that you need to know. it should look something like the following:

500/512/100/2.0v S1

(i actually pulled this off of a p3 but they are the same)

the first number tells you your speed. in this case it would be 500mhz.

the second number tells you your l2 cache size. in this case, its 512kb.

hte third number tells you your front side bus. in this case, its 100mhz.

the 4th number is the cpu core's voltage. nor really relevant, but in this case its 2.0v.

The 5th and final number (i think) is the stepping code. only reason for this really is to tell how good of an oc'er it is without actually ocing it.


hope i helped.

ok here are the numbers
First processor with heatsink on top
55100400NC
Malay 525 Es
INTEL (COPYRIGHT AND SOME OTHER SYMBOL) 92 93
A80502-90
SX968

Second processor
(TOP)
A80502120 SY033
ICOMP INDEX=1000
L6080705-0813
INTEL (SAME 2 SYMBOLS) 92 93

(BOTTOM)
A5452354AB
MALAY BZ
A80502120
SY033/SSS

They are old maybe P1 i wouldn't know i like AMD but the chip looks like it is Ceramic? it is an ugly brown and on the non-keyed corned the chip goes at an angle instead of having four corners. Kind like this:

| Intel |
| Pentuim |

Sorry this doesn't help but it is the best i can do

the thing took out all my wonderful spacing but i hope you guys get the idea

sounds like a 486 or something form the age of it, Pentium 1s werent arounf till 94-95 i dont think

yeha my friend who is all about computers has confirmed that
These are now considered trash and i will be playing target practice with them
Thanx for the help though
INTEL

The brown ones are pentium classics. non mmx, probably sub 166mhz. Have fun target shooting with them.

err... this shouldnt be hard dOWNLOAD WCPUID and read the results...

it depends of the shade of brown

all the pentium 1s were brown i have both a regular and an MMX and they are bother very similar in color, the pentium non mmx came in 90, 133, and 150, the mmx came in 133, 166 and 233- but form the age this sounds like a 486, and they would know if its a entium for pentiums say "pentium" on them

hardware geek, perhaps you neglected to read some of the stuff above,

hardwaregEEk aare you a friken idiot.. We have gone over this several times before. Read the whole post before posting..Man how many times do I have to say this... HE DOES NOT HAVE THEM INSTALLED ON A PC... THERFORE HE CAN NOT RUN A PROGRAM TO TELL WHAT THEY ARE.....
Taz put some smack down on your Noobs please.
