Processor Speed

[donovan0913]

I have a simple question. I have been asked to find out one of our server's processor speed and type. If I type CPUCHECK, it tells me 550 MHZ. I only need to find out if it is a Pentium or Celeron. How do I do that?

Hmm, easiest way, just open the box and look. If you are using a Compaq Server, compaq insight manager will show you, and there is a program called sysinfo I believe that you can use on your pc, and it will access the server and get the info you need.

There is also a remotre admin tool that Novell has that may be of interest and for the life of me I cna not remember what it is called, but will do everything from downing a server to getting config info.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately, my boss will have kittens if I tell him I'm opening up a server just to check the motherboard. I'll try finding that tool, though.

You can tell the CPU's model by comparing the stepping numbers. I just did a survey of our servers at work using rconsole. We have a mix of 486, Pentium, PII & PIII boxes. I can't remember off the top of my head what steppings correspond to which CPU. If you mail me at david_elliott@dcf.state.fl.us I'll be happy to give you the info for future reference.

But I can answer your question anyway. Intel doesn't make a Celeron 550. Celeron's run on a 66 mhz bus and would require and 8.33333333333 multiplier to equal 550. The Celeron 366 was easily overclocked to 550 but I would hope that no business that can afford a Netware environment would risk it by overclocking a lowly Celeron.
