[comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer] How do I tell CPUs apart

jhl@frith.egr.msu.edu (03/14/90)

Is there any way to tell a 286, 386SX, 386DX, and 486 apart through
code?

I already know how to tell a 286 from a 386 by shifting 33 bits, but
how do I know SX vs DX or 486?

The application this would be part of would be showing a screen that
tells as much about the configuration on a screen as possible.

Advance thanx,		(If i get any significant mail responses, I'll
			 post a summary )
