I suggest you all read the BOGI-MIPS howto. BoGoMIPS is just a routine that
is used to calculate a delay loop.
This means, that BoGoMIPS have NOTHING to do with the actual CPU speed, and
also CAN'T be used to measure performance.
P5 with MMX get a to high BoGoMIPS rating, due to the internal architecture.
With a PII, the BoGoMIPS are usually are about the same as the actual
clock-speed.

No, you can't. These rating depend on model, clockspeed, motherboard,
settings, memory and a LOT of other things.

None. I suggest they don't print the rating anymore, because it will only
cause confusion.
