| This type of generic information isn't very useful in identifying a system's CPU. |
As I mentioned, not all Pentium processors are fully supported by the Processor Frequency ID Utility. The utility is designed to provide information in two categories: CPU Frequency/Speed and CPU Identification Data. This utility will provide information from both categories on some Pentium and Celeron processors, while on older processors it will only provide information in the CPU Identification Data category. Table A lists all Intel processors and identifies which categories are supported. Table A

Downloading the utility
Downloading the Processor Frequency ID Utility from the Intel site is easy. As I mentioned, there are two versions of the utility: The Windows version, which you can run from within the operating system, and the Bootable version, which you can run from a floppy disk. When you arrive at either of these pages, you'll simply need to click on the appropriate language version. You'll then be directed through several intermediary pages before you can start the download. Tip
To make installing and using the Bootable version of the Processor Frequency ID utility easier, I suggest that, when you're prompted to select a location to save the file, you create a folder in the root directory called CPUID and download the file to this new folder. At the time of this writing, the most current version of the Processor Frequency ID Utility is 4.61. The latest revision date is May 2002. The installation file for the Windows version is Fidenu21.exe and the installation file for the Bootable version is Bfid_e16.exe. After you download the utility, proceed to the appropriate installation section of this article.

HI I have intel inside celeron and I do not know what type of windows it is.I dont know if its windows xp professional because i tried downloading directx 9.0 on my computer and it say that my computer is not signed or something like that. And when i download directx 8.0 it wont work. I have directx 5.1.also when I play downloaded games like nba live 2000 it keep freezing for like 25 seconds.then work again and countinously does it. When I play Grand theft Auto 2 it plays for about 15 seconds then cuts off. So can you email me at Akinola12@aol.com and tell me how to terminate these problems and tell me how to get it my computer signed. Because i just remembered that it doesnt have any sticker on the pc that says windows xp proffesional or windows 2000. All it says is Intel Inside Celeron in the front. If you want to know where i got the computer from was my summer job they gave it to people for free when you finish building the parts back together. Also my floppy disk does not format and nothing is stuck in there. so please thank you for reading and email me how to resolve each an every problem. thank you bye.
I am not able to see the CPU data on windows 2000 server edition SP4
Its giving me error saying some component are missing.
Processor:Pentium4 3.00GHz
Could You please tell me what components are required?
I have a intel inside celeron too but I have a sticker on front with designed for microsoft windows Me (millenium)
but I have windows xp installd
Click Start --> Run and type dxdiag
then you can see your windows version and directX
I just have directX 9.0c maybe because I use windows xp ?
or right click on this computer and choose properties and you will see your windows system
and GTA 2 works fine for me
maybe its a broken game?
