Visit the Intel site below to find a utility to give information on CPU
family, model and stepping. Look under the heading "Processor
Authentication" and subheading "Verifying a processor purchase and current
operating speed".

Subject: [PCBUILD] Is It Real or Is It Butter
pcbuild,
I just picked a machine that was built by a local computer store on
contract. The CPU is supposed to be a P 3 - 500. I checked in device
manager and it reports the CPU as" x86 Family 6 Model 8 stepping 1 ", What's
This?
