/proc/cpuinfo sent in the first message in this thread (anticipated your
request :-)), but it's small enough to repeat:

processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 5
model : 9
model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor
stepping : 1
cpu MHz : 451.040
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 pge mmx syscall 3dnow k6_mtrr
bogomips : 902.78
clflush size : 32

Here's the requested dmesg output (for 2.6.21):

Initializing CPU#0
CPU: After generic identify, caps: 008021bf 808029bf 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
CPU: L1 I Cache: 32K (32 bytes/line), D cache 32K (32 bytes/line)
CPU: L2 Cache: 256K (32 bytes/line)
CPU: After all inits, caps: 008021bf 808029bf 00000000 00000002 00000000 00000000 00000000
CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D+ Processor stepping 01
NVRM: CPU does not support the PAT, falling back to MTRRs.
