Thanks you all, lack of thinking on my part. I'm in a lab, and I assumed the PC
next to me (PIII 450) would be the same as the one I'm one. And that's why 

cpu MHz         : 551.264

Didn't look right. Turns out there IS a good reason to reboot Linux now and
again.

Now I can finish my asset reporting bootdisk.
