Merry Christmas, all SuSErs !

My Pentium 4 at 1.8 Gig. is shown as 35 Bogo-MIPs

My Celeron 2.4 Gig. is shown as 47 Bogo-MIPs

Is it 'normal' that :

Pentium of 35 Bogo-MIPs, is faster + frisky Celeron of 47 Bogo-MIPs is sluggish ? Hi,

Yes. The 'bogomips' are strictly a function of the clock speed. A Celeron is a crippled Pentium. They have smaller and slower cache memory. Zeons have even more cache level 1 memory than Pentiums. Somewhere around the time Intel brought out the P4 their clock speed numbers began to be deceptive indicators of processor performance. That is why AMD started to number their Ahtlons in a way that showed their performance relative to Pentium 4's. Run Memtest86 from the SUSE install disk on each PC to get a listing of memory speed comparison between the 2.
