Is there any special reason to have a slash? Do you mean Pentium III/Xeon ? I think the ``/'' is meant to mean ``OR''. This is certainly the = case for Pentium II/Celeron. I believe the only difference is the = cache size. The cache size can be determined with a single CPUID = instruction, but the powers that be don't agree that we should be = more specific when identifying CPUs that are the same for all intents = and purposes. > -- = > Seigo Tanimura = -- = Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
