The speed of a Pentium chip is calculated by examining the cycle counter register, DELAY(1000000), and then subtracting the old cycle counter reading from the new and rounding to the nearest million. So, your reading indicates that either your CPU clock is running slower than its nominal rate (I assume it's supposed to be 60-MHz), or the DELAY function is running too fast. My 60-MHz machine (Intel Premiere OEM system) correctly reports the speed and processor type: cpu0 Busy Pentium 510\60 -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
