Tried this on an AMD rig for laughs but it won't run :lol:

I still have a very old AMD program that tells you the processor name and speed. Nothing to install, as it was self contained.

I didn't like the previous version of this utility that I'd tried... It REALLY wasn't happy when it found out how far my processor was overclocked. :mrgreen:

How exactly do you mean, it wasn't "happy" with that?

Just a warning sign or is AMD turning nasty on its customers :wink:
My friend had no trouble running it even with his OC, maybe AMD just doesnt like you :P

The tested Intel(R) processor and system bus appear to be operating above their frequency specifications, a condition commonly known as "overclocked".

Please press the advisory button for further information.

Small variations in clock frequencies are common. If there appears to be a significant variation, please contact the PC system manufacturer or microprocessor place of purchase.

Lots of red text, a big yellow ! icon like that in the topleft corner, a advisory warning and the above quoted text were all given when I tried it out. ;)

It's kind of normal it does that, after all these utilities were made to prevent a computershop selling you a P4 "3.2Ghz" which is in fact a 2.4Ghz one. So if it does detect this it warns you in case you didn't do the overclock yourself and were ripped off.

Sadly, I have known of shops in my area that have done this to customers. It doesn't prohibit me from overclocking, so I don't care what color it screams at me.
