I don't think my original made it to the list, but here's some
info as an aside. Pentiums with MMX seem to usually have a bogomips rating
of about 2X CPU speed. AMD's K6 seems to act about the same. Pentium ][
machines usually have a bogomips rating about equal to the CPU speed. For
example, my P2/400 at work reports 396.49 bogomips. My P2/300 at home
reports 299.83. P200MMX at work reports 400.59. P150 (non-mmx) at home
reports 60.01 (and model is Pentium75+, btw). Laptop reports 26.16
(486/dx4-75). I've heard that PPro machines act like P2s, but can't check
as our PPro runs NT. Anyway, the point is that P2 and MMX chips actually
print out a decent approximation of CPU speed under most circumstances.
