I also have a Celeron 600 in my Compaq 5000, but even with the output below, I am not sure this is what Linus is talking about! I believe Linus is trying to say, "We HAVE configurations set for that specific architecture, so please USE them." However, I suppose you are saying you will get better performance from selecting PIII due to this output? Let me know ...
jrose$ cat /proc/info
