Introduction 2. Release Notes 3. Installation Instructions ******************************************************************* 1. Introduction ================ This README file contains release notes for the bootable Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility, describing any problems or issues that were known at the time of shipment. ******************************************************************* 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. ******************************************************************* *Other names and brands may be claimed as the property of others.
