Brad, Since processor stepping is akin to "version" (new steppings are created to fix bugs in previous steppings), I'm not quite sure it's all that sensible to decry their use or the clear identification of said processor specifics on one's machine.
FWIW, identification of a particular processor can quickly explain why application "A" experiences problem "x-1221984", which in the end turns out to be associated with a particualr short-coming in the local processor, due to its stepping... If you're overwhelmed by the technical language, then by all means, call your IT department or learn on your own via the web. You seem smart enough. If it's a time issue , then call someone who DOES know how to interpret it ande handle the problem that has you looking for the processor type. Dumbing down the world is definitely NOT the answer... regards, aj > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Velander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Andrew, > what does the software listing of the processor type > have to do with the functional compatibilities?
