I suspect that the Pentium II probes the same as the Pentium Pro, just
like my Cyrix 6x86 probes as a 486.  It's nothing to worry about.
On the RAM, you're finding 64 MB, which is all the default kernel can
probe.  You'll need to install the kernel sources and compile a new kernel
to use the rest of it.

individual question and not a bug report.
