    Changing Procoessor ID

    If you run:

    dmidecode -t 4 | grep ID
    ID: XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX


    Which is your processorid. Is there any way to change that temporarily, that anyone knows of?

    Thanks in advance!

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Not that I'm aware of. The purpose of this program/function is to get the CPU ID. A lot of proprietary software that is linked to a specific CPU relies on this, and trying to spoof that is not likely to result in "good" results.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
