Are the following all Pentium 4's? and if not, how could I tell?
I was just wondering if you could tell me if all of these are Pentium 4's. If not, how could I tell?
We are having a tremoundous time of loading up Windows 2000 in our machines and I want to get down to the bottom of why!

As noted, x86 simply means it's an 8086-derived architecture. Includes 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, and all Pentiums.
Intel has never published a Family/Step ID table, but they do have a program that will identify the specific processor in use.
See http://support.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-015477.htm and simply download the Processor Identification Utility.

... as for your specific question, I believe all of the Family 15's are P-IV's -- and none of the Family 6's are.
x86 refers to the platform. Intel's chips started out as 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486 (for short 8086, 286, 386, 486). Intel wanted to prevent competitors (like AMD and Cyrix) from using "386/486" style marketing for their CPU, so they switched to a trademarked name, Pentium. Pentium's were rather like 586's, Pentium II/IIIs were like 686's and you could consider P4's 786's (at least I do - I haven't seen many others call them that).
I can tell you that the 999 MHz CPUs (1 GHz) are either Celeron or Pentium 3's, the 449 (450) is a Pentium II or possibly III, and the others are either P4's or Celeron's or some

ASKER
the only issue with the above is that I can't do the download on each individual processor.
Is there a way I could punch those in and then tell if they are Pentium IV's or not?
I tried Google but I get more of a listing in Japanese.

Any family 15 CPU is a Pentium IV. The different models/steppings simply refer to the manufacturing process (Willamette, Northwood, Prescott, etc. -- i.e. the "process" used in the manufacturing) and the base die used (the stepping).
If you can RUN a program (not install it) on each system in question, just run wcpuID on each system (put it on a floppy or CD).

... sorry for the duplicate post -- my ISP (or EE) must be having issues tonight. That's 3 duplicates I've had tonight -- at first I thought I had hit submit twice, but I'm sure I didn't do it 3 times !!

Yes, that's what a stepping does. It's a change to the base die of the chip -- to correct some internal "wiring" or data.

What does x86 mean?
I already know that Mhz is the speed is there something else I should know?
