2.  Release Notes
=================

2.1 Processors supported by this utility

   The bootable Intel Processor Identification Utility
   supports the following Intel processors:

    * Intel Core(TM)2 processors
    * Intel Core processors
    * Intel Xeon(R) processors
    * Intel Pentium(R) 4 processors
    * Intel Pentium M processors
    * Intel Celeron(R) D processors
    * Intel Celeron processors based on Pentium 4 and Pentium M cores
    * Intel Atom(TM) processors
    * Dual-Core Intel Pentium processors
    * Dual-Core Intel Celeron processors


   Older Intel Celeron processors, and other older Intel processors
   not listed above, are not supported by the Intel Processor 
   Identification Utility. To identify older Intel processors, 
   download the Intel(R) Frequency ID Utility from the  
   following Intel web site: 
   http://support.intel.com/support/processors/tools/frequencyid/.

2.2 Processor number

   Intel uses processor numbers to enable consumers to quickly 
   differentiate among comparable processors and to analyze or take
   into account more than one processor feature during the 
   selection process. Processor numbers should be used to 
   differentiate between the relative overall features within a 
   certain processor family (e.g. within the Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 
   processor family) and within a numbering sequence (e.g. 550 vs. 
   540). Processor numbers are not a measurement of performance. 
   For more information, visit Intel’s website at          
   http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/.

2.3 Hyper-Threading Technology

   Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with an 
   Intel Pentium(R) 4 processor supporting Hyper-Threading 
   Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS and 
   operating system. Performance will vary depending on the 
   specific hardware and software you use. See 
   http://www.intel.com/info/hyperthreading/ for more information 
   including details on which processors support HT Technology.

2.4 Intel(R) 64 Architecture

   64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system 
   with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers 
   and applications enabled for Intel(R) 64 architecture. Performance 
   will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. 
   Consult with your system vendor for more information.

2.5 Intel(R) Virtualization Technology

   Intel Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with 
   a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating 
   system, device drivers and applications designed for this 
   feature.  Performance will vary depending on your configuration.
   Contact your vendor for more information.

3.  Installation Instructions
=============================

   Follow these instructions to prepare a bootable diskette 
   containing the bootable Intel Processor Identification Utility and
   to run the utility.

   1) Save the file downloaded from the Intel web site to your
      hard drive.
   2) Run the downloaded file to extract all setup files.
   3) Run the setup.bat file while a blank 1.44 MB floppy disk is 
      in the drive.
   4) Restart the computer with the floppy disk in the drive.  The
      utility will run automatically.
