On my PC, I ran a program that came with the mainboard. The PC is running an Athlon XP processor. Look at what WMInfo (management program) came up with: Name : AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+ Description: x86 Family 6 Model 6 Stepping 2 Manufacturer : AuthenticAMD Version : Model 6, Stepping 2 DataWidth : 32 Bits Socket Designation : Slot A Type : Central Processor CPU Id : 0383F9FF00000662 CPU Family : Power PC 604 <--- the interesting bit, to me... concidence? CPU Stepping : 2 Load Percentage : 100 % Max ClockSpeed : 1572 MHz Current ClockSpeed : 1572 MHz Voltage : 3.3 V External Clock : 143 MHz Upgrade Method : ZIF Socket L2 Cache Size : 256 Kb L2 Cache Speed : 524 MHz Display Availability : Running/Full Power PowerManagement Supported : false Status : OK Well, I thought it was interesting. <g> So, are Athlons PowerPCs?
