The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

In the Windows NT Program Manager, the About Program Manager dialog box displays the processor type, implementation, and revision for both the central processor and for the floating-point processor. For example, the About Program Manager dialog box might display the following information for a MIPS computer: 

   Processor: MIPS-R4000 - Pr 4/64, Fp 5/0
"Pr" stands for processor and "Fp" stands for floating-point processor. Note that the implementation and revision information are separated from each other by dashes.

For an Intel-based computer, the processor type is displayed, along with the CPU stepping, denoted by a 'd' and the stepping number. For example: 

   Processor: 80386-D1
This would mean that the D1 stepping of an 80386 chip was detected.
