Not quite.

  CPU: Intel Pentium III (999.52-MHz 686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x68a  Stepping = 10
  Features=0x383fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE>
  real memory  = 1073676288 (1023 MB)
  avail memory = 1041158144 (992 MB)

I didn't now what 'key_buffer' really meant; I assumed it would be
backed by swap and that it wouldn't result in being wired.
