Even more fun:  the EPIA-M 10000 may have either the Ezra core (same 
one used in the older M series - uses 3DNOW, etc) or the newer Nehemiah 
core (uses SSE, also has full speed FPU, which makes a big difference for 
things like MPEG decoding...) 

It's really annoying, AFAIK they use the same packaging, model number, etc
- I had to boot up Linux and look at /proc/cpuinfo to tell them apart.
