CPU Fault Detector Description

The CPU Fault Detector application was designed to be a small tool that executes dozens of floating point calculations that are known to generate incorrect results on some Intel Pentium Processors from the mid-1990's. If your processor passes the test, then you have nothing to worry about. If your processor does NOT pass the test, then you still most likely have nothing to worry about. It is extremely unlikely that the average user will ever perform a calculation that will be affected by the CPU flaw. Users who are into heavy floating point calculations - 3D games, CAD/CAM, 3D modelling, etc may like to change / upgrade their processor if the flaw is detected in their machine'c CPU. I have tested dozens of PC's - from slow Pentium 60's on up, and have never found a CPU with the error(s). So, it does not seem to be as widespread as some of the press reports suggested. (No suprise there !!)
