Identifying Processor 1

[SM777]

My server is supposed to be a 2Ghz PIV. How can I check this is true and that it is not a 2Ghz Celeron?

I ran phpsysinfo and it identifies:

CPU : 1 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz 1999 MHz
Cache : 0 KB

I'm sure it also classes Celerons as Pentium(R) 4 but the thing thats giving the game away is the 0KB cache.

I though PIV's were 512K and Celerons 128K?

Looking at the message log file shows:

8K L1 Data Cache
12K L1 instruction cache
16384K L1 instruction cache
CPU: L1 I Cache: 16396K L1 D Cache: 8K

So what do I have here? Is this definately a PIV or is it a Celeron?

cat /proc/cpuinfo

cat /proc/cpuinfo

uhhhhm, doesnt that tell me what phpsysinfo is already telling me? phpinfo reads the same file.

Processor 0
CPU family 15
Model 2
Model name Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00Ghz
Stepping 4
Cpu MHz 1999.826
Cache size 0 KB

Its the Cache size thats buggin me. Why doesnt it say 512KB? How can I tell 100% for sure, without opening the box that this is P4 and not a Celeron?

hi,
may be you have Cache disabled from BIOS.
Check the BIOS config at startup.

There is a bug in The linux kernel: On a P4 the Cache will say 512. on a celeron it will say 20.

Also right after a boot type dmesg | grep CPU.

My Pentium 4 says 256 KB and my Celeron says 128 KB, both being correct. //Daniel

The P4 2.4GHZ show up as 512 L2 Cache

The Celeron 1.8 shows 20 L1 Cache.

It might be the motherboard also.
