This is a sample of some code I've been writing for the Sysbench benchmark program to automatically identify the processor in the machine and its abilities. It's beta code so may not work. I have tested this on Pentium Pro 200, AMD K6-200, Pentium 75, 133, 166 and 166MMX and Intel 80486SX/33 machines. It has worked successfully in all cases. It should identify a range of processors from Intel, AMD, Cyrix, UMC, NexGen and IDT. The more that are tested the better.
After you've unzipped this file, please run CPUID3B.EXE and report the results back to me on either Trevor-Hemsley@dial.pipex.com or Compuserve 75704,2577 (75704.2477@compuserve.com). You can pipe the output from the command to a text file to make it easier to send the results in by using
CPUID3B >result.txt
Please include what your processor REALLY is in the message so that I can tell whether it has got it right and where I should make corrections!
