Well, I don't exactly remember what cpu I have build in, is it an Athlon or Athlon Thunderbird?
That's what /proc/cpuinfo says:
| Code: | processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 4
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) processor
stepping : 2
cpu MHz : 1000.055
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat p se36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow
bogomips : 1992.29

Does any of you know the type?
Thanks a lot! |

Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, the original Athlons used the Slot A form factor and the Thunderbirds used Socket A. So, you can tell which type of Athlon you have by opening up your box and taking a look at your cpu.
If it's a big rectangle cartridge dealie (same look as the Pentium II/III/IVs) then it's an original Athlon. If it's a small square chip (akin to the orignal Pentiums), then it's a Thunderbird. |

| your cpu has 256kb of L2 cache, only the original athlon used 512kb (on the high latncy cartrige) so you must have a athlon thunderbird. |

| i used to have one of the very few produced thunderbird slot a's... they only made a "few" of them in 800... they even made a 1ghz slot a but those were very rare. i tried to get ahold of one for a while but they're so rare they go for 300 bucks on ebay. might as well just buy a new motherboard and processor for half that or less |
