Comment Only 666 BogoMips with TWO P-II 333's? (Score 1) 368

"BogoMips" is actually short for "BogusMips".
You cannot compare BogoMips scores between different types of CPU. A Pentium-II will typically score as many Bogos as its MHz rating, a P2-333 will get ~333, a Dual P2-333 will get ~666. My K6-2 340 (overclocked K6-2 300 AFR-66)gets 683, this does not mean that it is faster than a Dual P2-333! It simply means that a K6-2 typically scores twice as many Bogos as its MHz rating. Its actual performance is more like a P2-340. Don't ever make the mistake of comparing BogoMips scores between different types of CPU.
