I'll be looking for some docs to explain this, but in the meantime perhaps someone knows off the top . . . Just screwed together a couple of new boxes. AMD K6/2-350 CPUs. The kernel on the slink rescue disk (2.1.8) as well as the kernel installed as slink:kernel-image-2.0.36 both report ~350 bogomips. The kernel on Tom's Root Boot Disk reports ~700 bogomips. We're talking 2.0.36 in all cases. Any ideas? -- your man pann
