Summary: incorrect cpu_model

Initial Comment:
It seems to not see a Pentium 4 right on my ststem, 
but knows its a intel, but tells me its a Cyrix model.

THe CPY Family says 15, extended, but the model is 
14, and thats defined as a Cyrix in the system.h file.

I have a P4 2.8GHz Intel CPU

source------

int main(void)
{
  allegro_init();
  cout << cpu_vendor << endl;
  if ( cpu_family == CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED )
  {
    cout << "CPU IS A EXTENDED CPU - TYPE - ";
    if ( cpu_model == CPU_MODEL_PENTIUMIV) { cout 
<< "Intel Pentium 4" << endl; }
    if ( cpu_model == CPU_MODEL_XEON) { cout 
<< "Intel XEON" << endl; }
    if ( cpu_model == CPU_MODEL_OPTERON) { cout 
<< "Intel Opteron" << endl; }
    if ( cpu_model == CPU_MODEL_ATHLON64) { cout 
<< "AMD Athlon 64" << endl; }
  }


  return(0);
}

Unlikely.  There's no 1.2.3 version, and versions =< 3.9
wouldn't compile with mingw32 anyway.  I suspect the user
just doesn't know what version he's using (perhaps
downloaded a devpak or something?)

I believe this is the same issue as reported on IRC in
#allegro-support. The user was using Allegro 1.2.3 which is
probably the root of the problem.

<MidnightMan> hello, kinda weird thing here, and this is my
first time using allegro
<MidnightMan> I initilized allegro, and did a cpu_family,
and cpu_model, and it says I am on a Cyrix CPU, but it says
I have a genuine intel
<MidnightMan> in reality, I am on a Pentium 4, 2.8GHz, is
this a bug, or what could that be to make it see the wrong
cpu type ?
<MidnightMan> im compiling with Dev-CPP MingW32 compiler, no
other libs or options, just the allegro lib, and its the
source/bins from the allegro site, version 1.2.3
<MidnightMan> any ideas :)
<kazzmir> what version of allegro
<kazzmir> wait, allegro 1.2.3??
<MidnightMan> allegro 1.2.3
<MidnightMan> yes
