I think you are getting into troubled waters when you add the cpu for userland and kernel. My athlon-tbird looks like CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor (896.19-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x642 Stepping = 2 My Athlon 2000+ XP looks like CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ (1674.45-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x662 Stepping = 2 Since my 900 and your 1000 both have id=0x642, I would assume it is a TBird.
