Some 6x86 have no marking on the bottom. Others show only the copyright. To identify internal
data like the stepping you have to use software.

Due to reflection problems on the bus prior mask rev 2.7, Microsoft decided to turn off the L1 cache for Window NT 4.0. Registered Windows NT 4.0 users can obtain a processor replacement from Cyrix, or download a patch to activate L1 caching.
