What do you guys use for CPU speed identification in your endless list of boxes?

Guess my CPU speeds?

I am slowly adding to the OGR herd. (Surprisingly, the IT guy gave me permission. He didn't know what it was, but understood when I said it was like SETI.) However, WCPUID is giving me trouble. On two of the three systems, it gives me a "Dynamic Load - NG" message. This is in Windows NT.

Computer 1 - Pentium II 233: OGR 1012 Knodes/s
Computer 2 - Pentium II ???: OGR 2340 Knodes/s (Well, it says PII on the case.)
Computer 3 - Pentium ??????: OGR 910 Knodes/s

Is there something else you guys use to indentify your CPUs? (I don't want to install something as large as Sandra.)
 
"Doesn't the BIOS say when you start the machine? Mine does."

Nope. Irritating.

"I have that trouble with CPUID sometimes too. Um setispy has a detector that finds your CPU type, and speed."

OK, maybe I'll try that when I have a bit more time. You're not trying to convert me are ya? 😉 Intel also has some sort of ID utility but it wants to install itself.


In the meantime:

Computer 4 - Pentium II 350: OGR 2360 Knodes/s

So I'm guessing Computer 2 is a PII 333 and Computer 3 is a P 200 MMX or whatever they're called.

By the way, my Celeron 920 does about as much as the other four combined, even though probably it's got about 200 MHz less total.
 
Eug-

Crosscheck RC5 with that one you think is a P200 MMX. If it looks right, you may want to consider putting it on RC5 instead of OGR for efficiency reasons. Otherwise the speed looks like a 200 MMX.

Nice assimilation. 🙂

Thanks, but I didn't want to install the Sandra package - far too big. I was just hoping for something small like WCPUID. I'll try that Setispy.

By the way, I'd appreciate any help on figuring out how to install the Mac dnet client on a PowerPC. It has no net access, and the only computers I can download the Mac client from are PCs. Every time I try to expand the .sit file on the Mac, Stuffit says the file is corrupt. I'm assuming it's because it's decoded by the wrong method or something.
