This README file contains release notes for the Bootable Intel(R)
Processor Frequency ID Utility, describing any problems or
issues that were known at the time of shipment.

2. Release Notes
=================
2.1 Frequency ID support of Mobile Intel Celeron(R) processors
Frequency testing and reporting is listed as being supported
on Mobile Intel Celeron processors beginning with 450MHz.
The Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility v2.5 and later supports
frequency testing and reporting for Mobile Celeron processors
beginning with processor classification = 0681.
Frequency testing and reporting of Mobile Celeron processors
with any previous processor classification is not supported
by this utility, although some of them were manufactured to
run as high as 466MHz.
2.2 Incompatibility with memory managers
The Bootable Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility is incompatible
with DOS memory managers, including EMM386 and QEMM*. If you
run the utility under DOS instead of booting with the utility
floppy disk, make sure that all memory managers are removed
from the config.sys file.
2.3 Bootable version will not work under Windows* operating systems
This version of the utility is designed to be set up on a floppy
disk, and will run automatically after booting to the floppy
disk. It will not run correctly if executed while a Microsoft
Windows* operating system is running.
2.4 Changes from version 6.5 to 7.0
The Bootable Intel Processor Frequency ID Utility v7.0 adds
support for Intel Celeron D processors and the latest Intel
Pentium M, Intel Pentium 4, Mobile Intel Pentium 4, and Intel
Celeron processors.
The utility now displays the processor number to help identify
newer Intel processors; see http://www.intel.com for details.
Also, the utility displays Platform Compatibility Guide
information for supporting Intel Pentium 4 processors.
