I propose the following: For desktop PCs, I guess grouping by CPU type makes sense. But I guess I'd prefer grouping CPUs by manufacturer, not by CPU "family". So I'd propose pc/intel/i486 pc/cyrix/cx486 pc/amd/am486 =2E.. > You would put the computer you tested it on inside one of these directori= es. >=20 > This will need to be edited if you choose to use it.

Advantage is, that even if you know little about the chip, you know who manufactured it and how it is called :-).
