SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Windows NT inventory (INVWIN32) and Microsoft DOS inventory (INVDOS)

processor on the client computer is an Intel 486, INVWIN32 reports it is as
80486DX, whereas INVDOS reports it is as 486DX-33.

STATUS
======

version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems
