hwconfig CPU model wrong

Hello,

I am running SCO Opensever 5.0.7 on a Intel Duo Core system. When I enter hwconfig -h the CPU info is displayed as:

cpu - - - unit-1 family-6 type Pentium III (model 7)

Is there a way to update this so it is current to the cpu I am using? Does this cause any performance issues?

Thanks,

Ernie

Probably not, unless your CPU has additional instructions. Maybe that is just saying the same thing, differently. JAVA calls it a 586 -- so many names!

That version of SCO is quite old (June 2005 or thereabouts). Its hwconfig utility probably knows nothing about Duo Core processors.

Makes no difference to performance, but you should install MPS so that you can take advantage of the second core. You do not have to license it unless you have two cpu sockets.
