it's a production-revision!
higher stepping - newer cpu because of newer production-masks (and hopefully
with less errors)

no it won't, bogomips depend only on your cpu (-registers)

don't worry about it, bogomips are bogus, they don't say anything since the
bogomips are equal to your clock frequency (or to the double clock freq with
some (all) K6)
maybe them could be used as comparision-argument, but this was in pre P5 times

only on cpu (and clock)
just my 0.02 euro
until next mail ;)
