You might try to look at a better CPU like K6-II/450, K6-III or somesuch. Second-hand dump stores might have the processors in stock, if not solo, then probably even with a motherboard. Socket 7 motherboards used to have L2 cache on themselves (unlike P-IIs which had everything - L1 cache, L2 cach

Re: CPU Speed

Well, CPUInfo has the answer: cache size of 256K for the P-II, and only 64 for K6. Also, the P-II had high-speed on-die cache, whereas the K6 had its cache memory separated on the motherboard (might be different for notebook versions though). That, and possibly kernel/code optimisation for the P-II

7;s for sure! There are various ways to check your CPU speed. For example, you can run glxgears. If you don't have a dri enabled 3D card, it will use software rendering and that is _very_ CPU intesive. Check the framerate. Or compile a kernel (or any large source project), or take a mathemati
