With Linux, is there a way to retrieve the processor model without taking information from bios? I don't know which processor is really mounted. I want to set up the right processor timing, but I don't know the processor type. Every time I change the timing for the processor in BIOS another processor type is determined (I should be an Athlon XP +1500, I think, but I don't know really).

I think with

less /proc/cpuinfo

the results depends on the timing that is set in bios.

So could you tell me how I can find out which processor is really mounted?

There is some information in /proc/cpuinfo and /sys/devices/system/cpu.

Most of the files in there behave like text file and can be viewed with e.g. cat. They also be fairly easy to parse automatically.
