I didn't either, but the vast profusion of CPUs that Intel calls "Xeon" makes matters very confusing. Do you know the CPU model number? (I suppose you could take the machine apart and read the chip, if nothing else. See http://support.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-028738.htm) Or is there possibly some useful information printed by the BIOS at boot time? Once you have a number, http://processorfinder.intel.com/ may be of help. Intel also has their own identification utility at http://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu/index.htm . There's a Windows version as well as a bootable version. (The bootable version claims to be OS independent but the download is an EXE file, so I'm not sure how that is supposed to work.) -- Nate Eldredge neldredge@math.ucsd.edu
