This is done all the time in the internal chip code (the CPUID or whatever).I guess some failed k6-III+ may have been released as k6-2+ with half of the cache disabled, but wouldn't they've changed the model number then?

I don't think this really helps though, as it seems (from the posts) most of the pentium-ms have nearly matching flags. Noxious Ninja's laptop, for example, has pae and nx, which mine does not have. Eh, as I said though, I don't think my results will help all too much.

Okay, I got WinChip info.
Seems we now have 100% architecture detection accuracy
That concludes this experiment. Thanks everyone for the info they sent in.

May 9 2007 - NSRT 3.4, now with lots of hashing and even more accurate information! Go download it.
