1. Introduction
================
This README file contains release notes for the Intel(R) Processor
Frequency ID Utility v7.0 - Windows* version, describing any
problems or issues that were known at the time of shipment.
*******************************************************************
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.
