350z Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I bought a P4 1.8 Ghz like a while ago, and up until recently, i always thought that it was a genuine P4. I noticed tho that whenever i run Quake III Engine powered games such as Jedi Knight II and Wolfenstein, it box that displays at the very beginning says that i have a PIII. It's the box that has lots of info and only flashes for about a second of two before the game actually launches. I downloaded the Intel's ID untility and it says that i have a P4. Well right now i believe Intel but i'm not sure. Is anyone else having this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudlington Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 lol, don't worry about it. I think Q3 came out before P4s so the game just recognizes it as a similar class. Some things report anything from a Pentium 1 up as a 5x86. It just depends on how specific the check is I guess. If you really want to be sure, get WCPUID (search google). It will tell you everything about your CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..... Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 If you have a 1.8GHz P3, you definately didn't get jipped- that would probably outperform a 1.8 GHz P4, and would sell for a lot - possibly as much as a voodoo 5 6000 (they went for $1000+ even if it didn't work) But I doubt it is a P3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
