Rich,
I asked this question recently about my own processor and got this
feedback:
psrinfo -vp
The physical processor has 2 virtual processors (0 1)
x86 (AuthenticAMD 20FB1 family 15 model 43 step 1 clock 2211 MHz)
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+
Revision F of family 0xf (15) has model range 0x40 (64)
to 0x5f (95) (i.e., extended model numbers 4 and 5).
You have model 43 or 0x2b which is extended model 2,
which corresponds to revision E.
The utility others have pointed to may be easier than that
mumbo jumbo!
Note that you need rev F if you want hardware virtualisation,
e.g. for Windows domU guests that are not paravirtualized.
If you have xVM paravirtualized domU OS such as Nevada build 75
or various Linux versions you do not need hardware virtualization.
So I think you and me are out of luck for Windows.
Regards
Iain
