For What It's Worth...
I took my case off yesterday to put a new VooDoo 3Dfx video card in my
machine. You ought to see Descent II and Monster Truck Madness on
that thing! Incredible!
Anyway, here's what's on my chip, if you still care. On the top, it
just says Intel Pentium Pro (or something like that -- it's under
heat-sink grease, and I didn't feel like cleaning it off, but that's
pretty close). On the bottom, it had these markings:
E6104154AA
A6071346AA
MALAY ES
KB80521EX200
SY032 256K
I have the "fast string" function turned on in my BIOS, and have no
problems (I thought I remembered hearing that there were problems with
this in earlier chips).
