How can I guess the system FSB speed?

How can I guess the system FSB speed?

[Daniel Rubio Bonilla]

Hi to everyone. I am new in this mailing list.

I would like to ask how could I guess the speed of the FSB of the system, if 
there is any way...

I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this question so I am really 
sorry if I disturb you.

Thanks

Daniel Rubio

you can't reliably.  the best you can hope for is to decode the EBLCR MSR
if present.  Unfortuantly, it has different meaning on pretty much
every CPU out there, which makes it a bit of a mess to decode.

Thanks a lot Dave. I have found this register for Pentium 4 and other P6 intel 
processors. But it seems it has disappeared in the Pentium-M model. And is 
just the one I would like to know the speed :(
Do you have any information about this processor, or do you know another way 
of finding the FSB speed?

Thanks again :)
