Identify Intel processor under 2.6.1

[Scott Morrow]

Mark,
  This solution works brilliantly in 2.8.1 - unfortunately for some  
reason it always seems to return "false" in 2.6.1 no matter the  
processor.  I don't understand the logic behind it so I'm no good to  
trouble shoot here.
Thanks,
Scott
