Well, unless you're using Win98 Beta, you can't see if your processor
is an MMX in My Computer/Properties, because Win95 does not make the
distinction between an MMX and a normal Pentium.

There's a benchmark called Final Reality, that detects if a processor
is MMX and displays it on the screen. You can get it here:

Hope this helps!
