No, it's not. Your motherboard BIOS is either screwing something up or you have a very strange CMOS setup.
But please, please apply my patch. You obviously haven't applied it yet, and this may be the reason you are getting these wierd bogomips ratings. ... > > > 2) Correctly identify and report _all_ 6x86 CPU models and steppings in > > /proc/cpuinfo.

Please apply _my_ patch, and it will correctly identify your 6x86 as a revision 4.2 6x86L on this machine. Remove the previous patch first.

Thanks for your feedback,
