BogoMips (from "bogus" and MIPS) are an unscientific measurement of CPU speed made by the Linux kernel when it boots, to calibrate an internal busy-loop. An oft-quoted definition of the term is "the number of million times per second a processor can do absolutely nothing".

So with a 4400 dual core Athlon, how many bogomips do I have? How many times a second can my computer do absolutely nothing?  ;D

Bogomips - so cool!

dizzy:
I would guess that a 4400 would get around 4400 bogomips, but you need some system info program to tell you for sure.

witch:
Oh OK, I thought from the 4200 chip having higher bogomips than 4200, there was some kind of rough equation that had to be applied to guesstimate the bogomips. I didn't see anything like that on your link though.

Indiasong:
I have a 9800 128 radeon. If I wanted a better video card, say a radeon with 256, still an agp, which one should I go to?
And I suppose I would have to change my power supply(say, for a seasonic): http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim8300/sm/techov.htm#1102452
And would my cooling system be up to it? http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim8300/sm/specs.htm
And wouldn't it be too expensive?
So many experts here.  ;D
