Hi!

I have 2.1.84 working perfectly in SMP-mode on a dual PII system.
The processors have stepping 3.

Today I got a new system that is identical apart from the processors
being of stepping 4 (and a minor BIOS upgrade).

Things work but the second processor is reported as having 2.26
BogoMips.
The interactive responce of the system feels jerky but no crashes.

Anyone else seen this?

Ove
