*******************************************************************

2.  Supported Operating Systems
===============================

The Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility v7.0 - Windows version 
supports the following Microsoft* operating systems:

   Windows 98 (Second Edition)
   Windows ME (all versions)
   Windows 2000 Professional/Server/Advanced Server (all service
   packs)
   Windows XP Home/Professional (all service packs)

3.  Release Notes
=================

3.1 Frequency ID support of Mobile Intel Celeron(R) processors  

   Frequency testing and reporting is listed as being supported
   on Mobile Intel Celeron processors beginning with 450MHz.

   The Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility v2.5 and later supports 
   frequency testing and reporting for Mobile Celeron processors 
   beginning with processor classification = 0681. 

   Frequency testing and reporting of Mobile Celeron processors 
   with any previous processor classification is not supported 
   by this utility, although some of them were manufactured to 
   run as high as 466MHz.

3.2 L2 Cache size reporting on Mobile Intel Pentium(R) processors

   When testing older Mobile Intel Pentium(R) processors 
   (133MHz - 266MHz) with the Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility
   under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, the L2 cache size is not 
   available to the utility and is reported as 'N/A'.
  
   On other supported operating systems, the L2 cache size is 
   reported correctly. 

3.3 Package and logo displayed for Intel Pentium 4 processors

   The Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility v3.6 displayed an 
   incorrect package type and logo for Intel Pentium 4 processors
   in the 478-pin package.  Versions later than 3.6 correct this
   issue.

3.4 Extended test in battery-optimized mode

   When running on a system that is in battery-optimized mode, the
   utility may request to run an extended test to determine the 
   frequency.  While this test is running, do not change power
   management settings or plug the system into AC power.  Doing so
   may cause incorrect frequency results in the utility.

   On some Mobile Intel Pentium III processor-based systems 
   running Windows 95, 98, or ME operating systems, the extended 
   test in battery-optimized mode will run for up to 15 minutes 
   instead of the expected three minutes.

3.5 Changes from version 6.5 to 7.0

   The Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility v7.0 adds support for 
   Intel Celeron D processors and the latest Intel Pentium M, 
   Intel Pentium 4, Mobile Intel Pentium 4, and Intel Celeron 
   processors.

   The utility now displays the processor number to help identify
   newer Intel processors; see http://www.intel.com for details.
   Also, the utility displays Platform Compatibility Guide 
   information for supporting Intel Pentium 4 processors.
