Just FYI I found out the cause of my problem.

Reverting http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ed9cbcd40004904dbe61ccc16d6106a7de38c998 
  this patch resultsin the correct numbers for me.

<cpuinfo snip>
processor	: 0
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 15
model		: 1
model name	: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.70GHz
stepping	: 2
cpu MHz		: 637.500
<snip>

This patch was reverted because other people seem to have problems  
with it, reverting the revert does not look like a good idea either.
But since I know now, that this is just a "display" problem and  
everything is working otherwise, I'll just patch this locally for my  
machine here.

Kind regards,
Michael
