It's not me, I have vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 5 model : 6 model name : AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions stepping : 2
I was just saying that the very above is not perfect due to the 'unknown' line.
BTW, why do we have AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor but AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions? - notice the brackets.
