Jeff - Re: CPU ID .."Any you better have your ID enabled or you won't get in!"

You have MISTAKEN CPUID and Processor Serial Number.

All Pentiums - dating back 6 years or more - have CPU IDs.

Even the NOBLE AMD K6's have CPU IDs.

An x86 instruction, CPUID, when executed, will return the PROCESSOR DESIGNATION - Pentium, or Pentium MMX or Pentium II, Pentium III etc.

When you boot your PC, did you ever wonder how the BIOS knew what kind of CPU was plugged into your computer?

I suggest you go to the Intel Web Site to learn the details of the Processor Serial Number.
