I've not owned an intel CPU since I had a 386sx 16 (my next chip was a AMD 386DX40 and I ran AMD ever since). Anyway, I just pulled a 1.6 p4 out of a freinds rig, He has a HP desktop and I threw in a 2.4Ghz northwood. Now, I have this chip and I don't know how to tell if its a Northwood or a Willemette.

Markings:
1.6GHZ/256/400/1.75v
SL5VH COSTA RICA
3205A079-1026

Thanks.

NM didn't realize you may not have it installed on a system, that's a willamette. My old 1.6 GHz Northwood had a 1.6A marking on the Heat Spreader.
