from what i can see, identcpu.c fetches the cpu name using a cpuid
instruction.
The part cpuid gives you is AuthenticAMD.

Shouldn't Athlons and AthlonXPs be able to use i686 (pentiumpro)
instruction set optimizations?
No. They are different cpu cores that have different optimization
strategies.
Yes, all Athlons can use i686 code while the k6's can't. Further, without
doing any scientific testing, I would
