The cpu_family is 5 on that processor and it runs a 586 kernel, while the cpu_family on my Via is 6, but it crashes on the 586 kernel. Also, the 128KB cache on yours is definitely better than the 64KB cache on mine. For anything even remotely CPU intensive, the 64KB is totally inadequate. But in my case, I use it as a subversion server, backup MX, backup snapshot server, and Apache/PostgreSQL development server, LTSP test server and a few other miscellaneous tasks. Since I am the primary (really only) user of the system, it works fine for me. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
