You are getting the report that you should - all is well. I too have a
Pentium 166 and get that "Pentium 75+" report. From what I understand
any Pentium of 75 MHz or above is reported that way. As for the
BogoMIPS I'm getting 66.15 so your's sounds correct. That also
corresponds to the BogoMIPS-Howto lists.
