Like I said, this is an old machine. But, this is what cpuinfo tells me:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping : 3
cpu MHz : 733.131
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov
pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips : 1466.26
clflush size : 32
cache_alignment : 32
address sizes : 36 bits physical, 32 bits virtual
