how do i know if its coppermine?

[benjamit]

i bought 2 piii chips at 866, 133, 256k retail kits with heatsinks and fans

how do i find out if the chips are coppermine?

i called the retailer but they said to call intel since these were retail kits

i have already installed the chips so i would like not to have to remove the heat sinks to get at any info on top of the chips

i was hoping that there was an easy way to find out

thanks for any replys

They are Coppermines because anything after the PIII 600's the L2 cache went from 512K @ half speed to 256K @ full speed. So since yours are 256K then they are Coppermines, at least this is how I understand it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

Any P3 with 256K cache is coppermine, as is any socketed P3, any P3 that operates on the 133 MHz FSB, & any P3 600 and higher.
