Geeky question OTD

[figmo]

I upgraded my PowerBook last night from a 400MHz G3 to a 500MHz G4.

Virtual PC on my PowerBook used to think I was a Pentium II. Now it thinks I'm a "686." What's that? I was hoping to be a Pentium III or Pentium IV.

Er... In the first para, "make" is a typo for "Mac". [BLUSH]

Interesting. I just upgraded to Virtual PC 6 with the upgraded hardware and it still thinks I'm a 686 (Pentium II with MMX). Same megahertz. Go figure.
