Hey Michele
It's possible that what she is referring to is actually a Pentium II.  After
the 486 series of CPU's, Intel went to a naming scheme as opposed to a
numbering scheme.  The Pentium was the "586" in the old numbering scheme and
the Pentium II was the "686" in the old numbering scheme.  And while I am
certainly not the most knowledgeable, I try to keep up and haven't heard
anything about either a Pent. 5 or 6.....

Subject: [PCBUILD] Pentium Processors


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?
