See if the following commands open new browser window on your system:

rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler www.google.com
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler www.google.com

On my system (FX74, XP64, Firefox 3.0.7) they open a new tab in the already open browser.

What processor did you try to id? I will check if the results were submitted to the database.

I tested some different laptops and Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Mobile Pentium III-M 1000 MHz, Mobile Pentium III-700, Mobile Pentium II-400. No one of them works, no one opened a new tab in Firefox 3.0.8 (today) to show me info detected before letting me to save and share data.

I can see another issue Cache L2 related, it is not detected L2 cache in many mobile CPUs.

That data was not submitted to the database. Try to run the CWID.exe program from command line, and see if it prints any error. I will build another version of the program that dumps additional information - this will help to troubleshoot the problem.

I see - it displays L1/L2 information in Cache/TLB details, but not under L2 and L2 cache. I will try to fix it today.

I ran by using a DOS command in a DOS box but no error was print, Do you know if future versions could create a text file for final results of data identified/errors?

I modified the identification page to combine cache information returned by two different cpuid functions. This is how identification page for Pentium M 1.60GHz looks now:

http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?CPUID=336

There is a third way to get cache information using cpuid, but that method is not yet supported by CWID.exe program.

I have seen some strange results also. For AMD K5, no L1 cache detected:
http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?CPUID=411

For Cyrix M II, "Logical processors: 253" Shocked and no L1 cache detected:
http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?CPUID=406

cpuid instruction does not return cache information for old processors.

I changed the page not to display the number of logical processors for old CPUs.

Genna,

Did you find any solution for old computers didn't work, they have Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP3 english? I think this is a CPU issue not an OS issue. I would like to get a command version with same functionallity and any results of detection previous to send to your DB.

I think it would be nice to have a DOS command version of this utility that launches an explorer with needed parameters, as you tell in replies up.

Thanks

Not yet. I will try to recreate the problem on test system as soon as I'm done with taxes.

Hello,

I can see it is not identified Pentium 4 with HyperTreading capabilities by your utility but only as Pentium 4, Should be?

It should list "Hyper-Threading Technology" in "Major features" if the processor has HT, like this:

http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?CPUID=548

The CPU below doesn't show HT, probably because the script couldn't determine the number of processor cores:

http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?CPUID=501

I'll try to find out an alternative way to determine the number of cores, or, maybe just fix the script to assume that the number of cores is 1 when the number of cores cannot be determined from CPUID data.

OK, thanks

Another possible interesting info to show at CPU info is FSB. Could you please get and show this info?
