Isn't that an i686 class?
Hm. You know what - it's possible my information is a little out of date now.. (quite possibly the wiki too!) I use these processors too, but my test boxes (~6 years old) have the VIA C3 chips in them: processor : 0 vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : VIA Samuel 2 stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 533.376 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu de tsc msr cx8 mtrr pge mmx 3dnow bogomips : 1067.55 and I know they definately segfault if I don't compile asterisk for an i586... > cat /proc/cpuinfo > processor : 0 > vendor_id : CentaurHauls > cpu family : 6 > model : 10 > model name : VIA Esther processor 1200MHz > stepping : 9 > cpu MHz : 1099.969 > cache size : 128 KB > fdiv_bug : no > hlt_bug : no > f00f_bug : no > coma_bug : no > fpu : yes > fpu_exception : yes > cpuid level : 1 > wp : yes > flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge cmov pat > clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm nx up pni est tm2 rng rng_en ace > ace_en ace2 ace2_en phe phe_en pmm pmm_en > bogomips : 2199.93 > clflush size : 64 > power management: All my production ones have the newer processors, maybe it's time to abandon my old test boxes... (Although one old box is actually a live system with a customer!) Nice to know they last though - one thing I always wory about is longevity - You put a panasonic on a wall and it's still there and working 15 years later... Are these going to last 5 years, 10 or more? Time will tell, I guess!
