Version: CPU-Z 1.4.1
"Small program that shows a lot of information."
Pros: First of all CPU-Z has to be downloaded from the publishers web site, because for some reason CPU-Z will not download from download.com. It shows the name, code name, socket, tecnology, core voltage, specifications, core speed, multiplier, bus speed, rated FSB, L1 data, L1 trace and levels of the processor. Shows the size and descriptor of L1-D cache and L2 cache.
Shows the manufacturer name, model number, chipset, southbridge, LPCID, and BIOS of the motherboard. Shows memory type, memory size installed, frequency, FSB, latency, delay, precharge, time and idle time. And last it shows how many memory slots you have. The memory size of each slot, bandwidth, manufacturer, part number, serial number, voltage, date, when the memory was installed and more.
Cons: It doesn't show my IP address, and the interface is small.

"Can't go wrong with this or CPU-Z. Both do an excellent job."
Pros: Its FREE!
It detects both Intel and AMD processors. Im sure it also detects processors from other companies as well...except PowerPC since those are Mac processors and this is a Windows program. I'd be interested to see how this program behaves on those Intel Mac machines.
Can detects more than just CPU make and model...a BOATLOAD more. RAM...frequency...this...that. I mean it will tell you everything you want to know about your processor, motherboard and RAM. Quite sweet.
Works on all Windows OS's alike...XP, 2000, 98, etc.
Cons: Needs some little popup hints here and there. So much of the information you will never understand, unless you take the time to research each term. I dont feel like doing that, thus the request for some popup hints.
Most of the information you will never use since you will never know what it refers to.
The interface is pretty fair...windows 98'ish. Both WCPUID and CPU-Z suffer from this horrible old interface. They both need an XP-refresh.

"What CPU? CPU-Z knows it all to the metal."
Pros: To know the CPU without having to open the box. No installation needed. Just run the executable and get to know all you need. Even save the data in HTM to disk. Excellent
Cons: None
