Somebody else noted this, and it seems to be true somewhat:

My /proc/cpuinfo reads the same as above except I have
wp : no

My board is a Triton II Hx. I've played with the bios settings in some rather
vane attempt to see if this would change 'wp'.

Ironically enough, my stepping is 1 rev 7 as well. (P166+).

Does anybody have any ideas on what could cause this? Could it be the
motherboard chipset?

Damn Damn Damn.
