Hi list!

Does this output from /proc/cpuinfo make any sense:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 26
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5520  @ 2.27GHz

[...]

Shouldn't the E5520 be Nehalem based and therefore have a flag for ssse3
and sse4?

Could the missing flags be related to a too old kernel (2.6.18)?

Thanks in advance!

Florian Philipp
