Once you've installed the Windows version of the Processor Frequency ID Utility on your computer, running it is just a matter of selecting the Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility shortcut from the Start menu. When you do, you'll see the License Agreement dialog box and will have to click the Accept button to continue. A few moments after you click the Accept button, you'll see a two-tabbed dialog box that provides you with detailed information about the processor installed in the computer. Figure F shows the contents of the Frequency Test tab run on my test system.

 |
| The Frequency tab reports the processor speed, as well as the system bus speed. |
| Figure G |
 |
| The CPUID Data tab displays the technical specifications of the processor. |
Once you've created a Processor Frequency ID bootable floppy disk, you can use this disk on any computer. To do so, power down the computer, insert the disk, and then turn on the computer. When you do, you'll see the license agreement screen and will have to acknowledge it by pressing the number 1 key. You'll then see a screen similar to the one shown in Figure H.

| The Bootable version of the Processor Frequency ID Utility will display a report like this one.
Identifying legacy processors Finally, if you encounter a computer that is definitely not a Pentium class system, but lacks any real processor identification, there's still help for you. You can download the Intel CPUID Utility for DOS, which is designed to identify 386 and up processors. However, it won't report the processor's speed.

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?
