Forum search isn't my friend on this question. I own two Compaq Deskpro XE 466 computers, which are normally a 486 at 66MHz and was trying to sell one when I identified that the Kingston microprocessor is actually a 133MHz, probably this AMD here. It actually derailed the sale! The gentleman already has a Pentium I system and this is too similar.
I'm now trying to identify the microprocessor in the second Deskpro and that is difficult. On top there is a heat sink and on the bottom, the numbers don't seem to turn up anything on Google. Is there some program I can run on the machine to sniff out what this microprocessor is? I think my options are either something like that or try removing the heat sink and seeing what it says underneath.
And does anybody know if there is any benefit to having a 256kb Cache card on the 133MHz system? The original owner of the system upgraded the microprocessor and the RAM but didn't get a cache card, I thought that was interesting.
