Hi,
I see custom builds for P4 with SSE2, etc however I have no idea what any of that means! I just looked at the Intel website but it doesn't tell me if my CPU has these features, etc.
Is there any software that will tell me what my CPU supports and doesn't support?
I have a Pentium 4-m (2500Mhz).
Thanks also
How do I know what my features my processor has?

If you're running the Linux operating system, you can typedeadmonkey wrote:Is there any software that will tell me what my CPU supports and doesn't support?

I use CPU-Z for this purpose. You can download it from http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Alternatively there is WCPUID [http://www.h-oda.com/] or SiSoft Sandra [http://www.sisoftware.net/]

cat /proc/cpuid
For Red Hat, it is:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/cpuinfo
as mjt suggests, cpu-z is a nice little program for Windows.

This page has a nice generic chart, that could be useful for newbies:
http://www.tommesani.com/InstructionSetCPU.html
However, there are probably differences and variances that don't follow that chart exactly.
A sticky FAQ thread with the jargon, unoffical vs. official, nightly vs. release, trunk vs. branch, gcc vs. msvc (win32), optimization, and etc. information would be nice. I'll probably compile some sort of informational thread sometime soon, if no one else beats me to it. I think I covered a lot of the bases with that little list I just came up with.
