I don't have info for detecting 486BL or 486BL2, but 486BL3 has MSRs. I suspect DIR0 needs to be used, SIV should have read this, but I can't be sure it did 'till I check Menu->Hardware->CPUID->CPU-0 in the same file.

I tried to save a text file from SIV but it seems to hang after collecting all the information and putting a bit of garbage data in the txt file it prepared for use. Thank you for checking out SIV and I would like to try and improve what SIV reports, but to sensibly do this need a save file. I see …

Words have definitions for a reason, SMP has a definition, 3XXX Xeons are Multi core CPUs with no SMP ability its really that simple.

that is awesome. unfortunately its expensive and a bit large lol. The main cost would probably be a D5400XS motherboard, I was patent and in the end got a brand new boxed old stock one on 23-Feb-2021 for €186.00 . It then comes down to which CPUs you get, I have 2 x X5460 which were not too …

I simply wanted to be more "responsive" and have datas half of a second instead reresh only one second a time. All this will do is mean SIV uses more CPU time. The default for the CPUs and GPUs is every two seconds which is plenty fast enough. SIV will report your system way better once KB4474419 …
