A couple of years ago I had received news from Intel that people were
selling certain processors as higher speed processors by overclocking them.
I didn't pay much attention to it, until I saw the startup screen on my
Linux box, which reports one Pentium 75+ processor at 66.76 bogomips.

That's kernel 2.0.34, kernel 2.2.5 reports one Pentium 75 Processor.

However, I removed the dissipator and found a metal plaque with the words
"Intel Pentium i166" inscribed on it.

Why does Linux report my processor as Pentium 75 and give so few bogomips?
