Pentium III Processor recognized as Pentium II Processor

The Intel software was probably written before the PIII was developed.

thank you for the response. The software has an enhancement if you have a Pentium III Processor
my problem is I don't get the enhancement because it doesn't recognize it as a Pentium III Processor
thank you
Robert

Thank you for your response. I contacted Intel PC camera support. They said there was a possibility that the
BIOS was corrupt. I thought sense the computer was only a few weeks old that this wasn't possible.

The enhancement is in the Intel videophone portion when using a Pentium III Processor. I couldn't find any mention on the Intel Web site, but it is part of the specifications on the video instructions that came with the camera. and camera software lists the computer as a Pentium II Processor.
Thank you
Robert

How is the processor listed in the BIOS? Is it listed correctly in System Properties (START | SETTINGS | CONTROL PANEL | SYSTEM)?

Gee Dave, I just looked at mine and it too is listed as a P II.

It is a 550 and runs like a bat out of h___, but seems to suffer an identity problem...

im beginning to think that Dell might have deceived us in thinking that its a pent 3 when in reality its actually a pent 2. What do you guys think?

Is listed as: Dell Computer Corp., Genuine Intel x86 family 6 model 8 stepping3
128 MB RAM.
Thank you
Robert

Where does it tell you it is a PII? The BIOS or Windows?

BTW, which version of Windows are you running on? Windows 98 (not SE) cannot tell it's a PIII.

D266 / I3200 / T450 / T500

Logitech QuickCam Pro USB/WingMan Force Feedback USB/WingMan Gamepad Extreme USB
Iomega ZIP100 USB/ZIP250 PCMCIA+USB
Wacom PenPartner USB
HP ScanJet 6200C USB

That is Pentium III.

What does the computer's BIOS say the CPU is?

EsQUIRE: Well that solves my question, I'm running Win98.

Sounds better than the conspiracy theory someone offered!

Off the subject, your location is listed as "Hongkong, GB" - Is that wishful thinking????

It's a tribute to what it once was - a great city of the British Empire.

That's definitely not true. If you are running the first edition of Windows 98, look here for the explanation:

Thank you for explaining, and I will second that.

I understand that inspite of all the flowery reports from CNN & company, there was a mass exodus before PRC took over.
