To determine if your Pentium processor has the highly publicised floating
point division bug, perform the following
calculation in a spreadsheet or calculator program:

  4195835 - (4195835/3145727)*3145727

on the buggy processor this results in 256
on a correct one (or a 486) this gives 0.

Or you can use this to test if your PC has "Intel Pentium Inside".
