I realize this is a Linux question, but since I'll qualify myself as a newbie, and this forum is so large, perhaps you can point me to the proper search term or answer it here...
I have a working dual processor Pentium III Tyan 200t motherboard with one chip in it. I just got it, blanked the hard drive and loaded Redhat Core3, all working fine.
I only have one chip in this, a 1.13Mhz Pentium III, and me being the crazed glutton for punishment, I would like to try to match that chip and fill up that second Socket 370 with a second 1.13Mhz chip.
This machine started its life as a server, and that's its final destination, but it's sitting here humming away in my house now as I put it through its paces.
Aside from that, I know little about it.
Question: I assume there's a utility (within KDE?) that would identify exactly which flavor of Pentium III chip I have in there. I know there's several different P3 chips floating around, and while there's only several(?) that would fit in the Socket 370, I will invoke my paranoia card early and say since I don't know, I might kill everything by trying to put the wrong one in there.
Is there a utility for the Intel chip ID, and how do I get to it?
Will any P3 chip that fits in there blow up the machine?
I know from doing a quickie check on the motherboard BIOS that the chip core (the Vcore) is running at 1.51V for Core 1 and Core 2 (the second being empty but I'll assume I need to match it) so I THINK I'm limited to the "Tualatin" core.
Any help would be appreciated, including bouncing me to the proper forum.
