Processor API

[Heather B.]

Hi there,

When I use Windows API to get processor information I get some of the
following numbers on my users' machines:
586 Level 6, Revision 1282
586 Level 6, Revision 2051
586 Level 6, Revision 2054
586 Level 6, Revision 771

I'm wondering if there is a chart that can tell me what Intel processors
these revisions and levels correlate to.

Thanks much,
Heather

Hi Heather,

I think that Intel will not release details on these to the general public.
They are for internal use, and anyone out here who might know (I don't)
would be forbidden from saying. Just, IMO.
