[bcab] identifying processor in windows 2000

Hi all.

I want to identify the processor used on a PC running Windows 2000.

if I right click My Computer and choose Properties from the context menu that 
appears, I can find out from the system tab that the processor is a pentium and 
it is family 6 stepping 8.
this is not helpful.  in Windows XP I get the clock speed of the processor and 
more information about the kind of processor.  what does this Family 6 stepping 
8 actually specify?

Cheers

Graham
