You'd want model name and flags at least, I think:

processor       : 1
vendor_id       : AuthenticAMD
cpu family      : 6
model           : 10
model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) MP
stepping        : 0
cpu MHz         : 2134.383
cache size      : 512 KB
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 1
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mp mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow
bogomips        : 4259.84

I specify "-march=athlon-mp -ffast-math -msse", but I don't have any
solid numbers on using that over the default.  It 'feels' faster.
