[SunRescue] help with CPU ID

[Gregory Leblanc]

They don't seem that slow to me.  :)  I've got dual SM41's in my SS20 at
home, and it's not screaming fast, but I am running Solaris7 (bordering on
bloatware?).  I'd love to get some (1?) faster CPU, but I'm not willing to
shell out the money to buy one just yet.  Those CPUs should work nicely for
a home system without too much heavy interactive use, I'd think.
