Well - first PII's had its L2 cache on separate chip on the cartridge, but
L1 cache was on the CPU chip.

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.

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

The HP runs MUCH slower than the TP. Why is that? Is that

Do you get a "Bogomips" number ?? There may be a way to
cross-reference that number to an approximate cpu speed. I
think it does vary with different c

Just for fun, I thought I'd try it. I have 2 boxes, an AMD Duron 750
and an i486sx. With the Duron I got lots of nice information. With
the 486 I didn't get much information at all.

The ratio is often quite different among different families of
processors. I have observed the following:
Intel P-150 ~60 bogomips (0.4x)
Cyrix 120~120 " (1.0x)
AMD K6/2-350 ~700 " (2.0x)
See the BogoMips mini-HOWTO for a fairly complete list.

You could use the bogomips to do 'educated' guess of the actual cpu speed, i
have noticed that intel and amd both run pretty close to each other, i haven't

Check out /proc/cpuinfo. Don't have any 2.0.x boxen on the air anymore, but
I think that was available before.
