Date: 10 Dec 1996 05:35:08 GMT Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana Lines: 29 Message-ID: <58isqc$1bb@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: ux9.cso.uiuc.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Hi, powerfull All! Can anybody explain two lines from dmesg: CPU: 100-MHz Pentium 815\\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,PSE,MCE,CX8,APIC> and from another computer: CPU: 120-MHz Pentium 735\\90 or 815\\100 (Pentium-class CPU) Features=0x1bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8> In particular, what is the meaning of "90" and "100" and what are the Features ? I understand, that FPU - floating point unit, VME - Virtual Memory .... Special interest is about differences (DE, TSC, MSR, and APIC) How important are this differences ? Thanks in advance.
