Well, I am running a 6x86-150. This chip has a clock of 120mhz (the 166 runs at 133 I think). Anyway, with recent development 386 kernels it had a bogomips of 120, for what that is worth, with the 486 bogomips a touch more conservative. I am afraid I don't have any thing terribly recent to compare to, it replaces a 386-40. I could run some benchma^h^h^h^h^h^h^h damn lies on it and see how it really behaves if anybody would pass me pointers to something good.
