There is no Pentium 6.  My laptop (that I'm writing this from) has a Pentium
III processor, but if you right-click on "My Computer" and go to Properties
it lists the processor as "x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 3".  This could be
where he is getting the idea that it's a P6.  It IS a little misleading.  I
think that's why XP now does a better job of accurately listing the actual
processor type now.

But hey, if it makes him feel superior, why ruin his illusion.  You can just
give him a knowing smile and let him believe what he wants.

I know you think you know what you thought I said, but I'm not sure that
what you heard is not quite what I meant.

Can anyone tell me what is the newest processor so far made by pentium.
I thought it was P4, but I have a friend who says her sister has a pc with a
pentium 6 installed.
Is that correct, or has she made a mistake?
