I have a pentium 66 (they didn't make any slower pentiums, did they? :-)
2.0.36 reports:
Intel Pentium with F0 0F bug - workaround enabled.
Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 26.62 BogoMIPS
BogoMIPS is just a measure of how fast the processor executes a certain
sequence of instructions. You didn't really believe those numbers they
made up to try and sell you your hardware, did you?
