This also seems to agree its pentium-m: http://www.answers.com/topic/intel-processor-confusion By the way, these results came from a google of "L2400 prescott", so its not like my google is swaying this one way or another Therefore, i'm going with pentium-m! Thanks for the help guys, George Barry K.
