CPU Reporter is a small, almost useless, application that identifies the CPU your Macintosh is using. It is useful for people with PowerMac Upgrade Cards (or similar accelerators) who find themselves switching between processors frequently. The CPU number is displayed in a small floating window bar. CPU Reporter remembers the position of the window bar between sessions.
Place CPU Reporter in the Startup Items† folder in your System Folder. CPU Reporter uses only 30k of RAM, so it shouldn't get in the way of other programs; and if you really need the RAM, you can quit the program. Finally, CPU Reporter performs no background processing, so it doesn't slow down other applications.
