I'm a little unclear on this - my K6 reports itself as a 586 class CPU under FreeBSD, but I was wondering if it implemented some of the PPro specific instructions/features. I'm quite happy with it - it's a K6-233, does a make buildworld in 1hr 20m (NOTCL, but with profiled libs, /usr/src mounted noatime, /usr/obj async, 48Mb, 512k cache, 2 SCSI drives hanging off an NCR-875). My old CPU (P5-120) did a make world in 3hrs. Oddly enough, where I used to have occasional hangs and crashes (which seemed hardware related, for a long time I was blaming the memory) it's now solid as a rock.
