- PROCTEST V1.0
-
- CPUID and FPU test written by D.W. 1994
-
- ( 4 december 1994 )
-
- This program detects what processor is used. It will run a check on
- the FPU (Floiting Point Unit=Arithmic Coprocessor) and is able to detect
- the Pentium FDIV error and the step version of the Pentium CPU.
- Because it runs the same routine on a 80486 and a Pentium you can easily
- see that calculations that run good on the 80486 give strange result on the
- Pentium.
-
- As far as we know there isn't a good P5 yet, so everyone has a buggy version.
- This program can be of enormous help to people who want to buy a Pentium in
- the near future. The buggy versions can be detected so the consumer can
- protect himself against the buggy Pentium that will be sold much cheaper.
-
- * BEWARE *
-
- │ CAD/CAM applications and PCB design programs cannot run reliable on Pentium
- │ machines that have the buggy P5. A serious problem !
- │ DO NOT RUN your financial calculations on a 'buggy' Pentium because this
- │ can cause enormous differences in the result. And can costs MONEY !
-
- This program is *FREEWARE/Public Domain*. The only thing we hope for is
- some feedback about the results on your machine. Because there could be
- new P5 processors with a newer step/revision nr that do not have the bug
- anymore we like to hear from you.
