Being that it's Friday.... (note that this output isn't snipped; kernel 2.0.36 doesn't grab the CPU frequency apparently!): [root@localhost /root]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 586 model : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
Yup. I replaced my very nice, thank you very much, K6-2 250 (or was it 300) processor when I rebuilt my system in '05 or '06. But then, I still miss my rock-solid CompuAdd 286 that I replaced in the early nineties....

Got one o'them, or maybe it's a K6-2/400 that I had overclocked. can't remember. anyway, I ran a Smoothwall firewall box on it for a couple years (after upgrading from a Pentium-90 which served for several years). ran great! then in interests of saving money on my outrageous power bill, I switched it out for a linksys WRT54GL which probably draws about 1/10 or maybe 1/20 of the power.
