How do I find out the CPU id string for the Celeron 450?

I'm trying to edit my BIOS to add support for this CPU.

Thanks

Run CPU-Z on a computer with a Celeron 450 in it.

You do realize that you need more than just a BIOS name string, right? You need the microcode patches for that CPU.

Thanks Larry, no I didn't realize I needed microcode patches.

I was hoping that since the BIOS recognizes up to Celeron 440, that it was just a matter of name validation, like new browser versions and addons.

Guess I have more to research now.
