Sure, boot a recent linux kernel (2.0.34 or later I believe) or any 2.2 kernel, and then do:
1 root@red:/# cat proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 cpu : 586 model : AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions vendor_id : AuthenticAMD stepping : C fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid : yes wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 10 mmx bogomips : 399.77
As you can see, no f00f here.
