Lets learn Windbg: the !cpuid extension

Its an effort to learn and document windbg extensions..

So here is the first one !cpuid

lkd> !cpuid

CP  F/M/S  Manufacturer     MHz  
0  6,23,6  GenuineIntel    2394  
1  6,23,6  GenuineIntel    2393

the first lkd> means the current debug session is a local kernal debugging. How do we do that ? Open Windgb; Select File -> Kernal Debug and select local. 

Well I have seen this doesnt work with Vista normally. And as you can see, other options are remote kernal debugging which include COM, 1394, USB 2.0  and ET ( yes you can do it over TCP/IP as well )
