Look at the bottom of your processor card. The cache chip is attached. There will either be a 66 or an 83 on the chip's number. That'll tell you what you have. An easier way to tell is to look at the bottom of your Wallstreet. If there are specs, it's a Series II. No specs, Series I. This isn't failsafe, though. I got a Series II Wallstreet in a Series I case off eBay, and found out the hard way when I tried to run a 292 in it.
