Installing the DOS based utility To determine what revision Intel CPU is currently installed using only a DOS boot diskette, refer to the following process: 1) Download the DOS utility from the following location: http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts df/Detail_Desc.asp?strState=LIVE&ProductID=49&DwnldID=3088 2) Save the self-extracting zip file bfid_e16.exe from the above link to a temp directory on your hard drive. (e.g., C:\TEMP) 3) After the file has finished downloading, insert a blank 1.44MB floppy into your FDD drive. Important: the floppy disk must contain no other files 4) Launch the bfid_e16.exe to extract the contents. The files contained within this file will all be extracted to the current directory. If you launched the file from C:\TEMP, all of the files contained within this archive will be extracted to C:\TEMP. 5) Launch the newly extracted file, SETUP.BAT. This will copy 4 files to your floppy disk, and make the diskette bootable. 6) Remove the diskette from your host system, and place the diskette into the bootable FDD drive of the system you would like to check the CPU revision information. 7) At boot time, the diskette will automatically launch the information utility. After accepting the license agreement, you will see output similar to the following: _CPUID Data µ Model: 2 Stepping: 7 µ 8) From this screen you can determine your processor stepping information. If you have one of the affected model types listed above, you can identify your CPU by referring to the CPU Model and CPU Stepping values. A CPU Model value of 2 and a CPU Stepping value of 7 correspond to a C1 CPU. A CPU Model value of 2 and a CPU Stepping value of 4 correspond to a B1 CPU. Appendix B. - Determining InterVideo WinDVD version To determine what version of InterVideo WinDVD currently installed, refer to the following process: 1) Click Start, select Programs , select InterVideo WinDVD, and then click InterVideo WinDVD.

following process:
1)
Download the DOS utility from the following location:
df/Detail_Desc.asp?strState=LIVE&ProductID=49&DwnldID=3088
2)
Save the self-extracting zip file
bfid_e16.exe
from the above link to a temp directory on your hard
drive. (e.g., C:\TEMP)
3)
After the file has finished downloading, insert a blank 1.44MB floppy into your FDD drive.
Important:
the floppy disk must contain no other files
4)
Launch the bfid_e16.exe to extract the contents. The files contained within this file will all be
extracted to the current directory. If you launched the file from C:\TEMP, all of the files contained
within this archive will be extracted to C:\TEMP.
5)
Launch the newly extracted file,
SETUP.BAT
. This will copy 4 files to your floppy disk, and
make the diskette bootable.
6)
Remove the diskette from your host system, and place the diskette into the bootable FDD drive of
the system you would like to check the CPU revision information.
7)
At boot time, the diskette will automatically launch the information utility. After accepting the
license agreement, you will see output similar to the following:
_CPUID Data
___________________________________________________________
μ
Model:
2
Stepping:

8)
From this screen you can determine your processor stepping information. If you have one of the
affected model types listed above, you can identify your CPU by referring to the CPU Model and
CPU Stepping values. A
CPU Model
value of 2 and a
CPU Stepping
value of 7 correspond to a
C1 CPU. A
CPU Model
value of 2 and a
CPU Stepping
value of 4 correspond to a B1 CPU.
