Does your computer have the OLD Pentium CPU, with the floating point error, or does it have the NEWER CPU with the problem corrected? Here's a simple test to find out: >From Windows, pull up the Accessories Group. Double Click on the Calculator. To get to the scientific calculator mode, pull down View to Scientific. Enter: 1 / 824633702441.0 = The result should be 0.000000000001212659629409 (That's 11 zeros following the decimal point.) Enter: * 824633702441.0 = If the answer is 1, your machine has the later CPU. (That's good.) Otherwise, Intel will replace your CPU for free. Intel: 1-800-628-8686
