I stand by my statement (not qualified to Intel boxes only): if you take the BogoMIPS value for an Intel machine and divide it by 2 you will get the approximate processor speed in MHz. I will grant you that a CPU's relative MHz value has little or nothing related to instruction speed (ok, actually it does but it is fuzzy at best these days), but in my experience the divide by 2 rule actually seems to work. This has to do to with the actual CPU instructions in a BogoMIPS timing loop, the number of tics for each of those instruction, and the total number of processor tics/second.
Why doesn't some of you check your CPU speeds and post them along with your mother board and processor information. Be forewarned that if you are really off, I might give you a bit a crap about how you setup your mother board.
I'm seeing on a 2GZ Dell server and seeing a 3971.48 BogoMIPS value. I'm seeing on a PII/450 seeing a 894.56 BogoMIPS value. I'm seeing on a K6/500 a 999.42 BogoMIPS value.
PS: I will announce when our club's honeypot server location and the contest rules when it is ready for everyone to start banging on it. Please note that Jake has asked you stay off the server and its circuit during business hours and please don't start before I announce it on this list.
