What I mean is the cpuid information is valid on Windows 95/98. The cpuid
command returns the most useful information. Your patch completely bypasses
the cpuid instruction on non-Windows NT operating systems, however this
isn't necesary. The patch was designed to show you what I meant, not to be
applied verbatim.
