T-Bred or Palomino?

[Calderan]

Is there a program or method other than physically removing the processor to determine whether I have a T-Bred (A or B) or a Palomino. I'd be grateful for any help.

Tbred A = 1.6 volt
Tbred B = 1.6 0r 1. 5 volt
Palomino = 1.75 volt
check it out in the pc health section of your bios, or install one of the monitoring proggies, like mbm5, in the stickied post at the top of this forum.

wcpuid is what will also give you the info...

LOL!! forgot about that one, i always just look at the chip.....

CPUZ works as well.

Sisoft Sandra 2003 will show you in the CPU info dialog. T-breds run cooler than palominos so go for a t-bred.

Aida32 will tell you what kind of cpu you have as well (although my XP 1800 is listed as XP 2600 Tbred B).

I believe some of them were lower voltages as they improved them and found they didn't need to run higher than 1.5 v. If that's the case, you may be able to get a better overclock out of it since you can increase it so much more than "stock"
