I want to give a small response to this patch for the
good old Pentiums (I'm running the Soyo-5TH5 with
two of this processors: Pentium/P55C).
Dmesg+ mptable can be found for this Board at the
Socket-7-Section on my website[1].
I applied it to my 4.7-Release-installation.
In my opinion: The patch works great, the usability on
my desktop feels much higher (I'm using KDE3.03), and
the console seems to work better, too.
I'm highly recommend it for those old systems!
-Gregor.
