Thanks a lot for this step to step procedure.
I found your reply on a similar post too, but I didn't figure out I
could make it in winxp thanks to vmware.
The output you asked for:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 12
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 1999.515
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception: yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr
pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext
3dnowext 3dnow up ts fid vid ttp
bogomips : 4016.23
P.S: Setting a proper paging file didn't help.
