This text file should accompany penttest.exe. This is revision 1 of a pentium test program. It simply performs several floating point operations that are known to cause errors in the current stepping of Intel Pentium(tm) processors. I wrote this to make a simple way for the average computer customer to test the system he or she is going to purchase to see if it contains the "fixed" pentium chip. If your computer has a PCI bus, using a genuine Intel PCI chipset, this program will detect the chipset and revision number, and give you a little history on any problems that might exist with this revision. Again, this program is intended to provide a customer with information about a system before he or she put down their hard earned money. This program is supplied without any warranty, either expressed or implied. The user must take responsibility for any consequences of use. The information reported by the program is believed to be accurate, but the author makes no such guarantee. John Valantine
