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.
