This is a Pentium or better cpu, with full CPUID support:
Vendor id = "GenuineIntel"
Make = 05, stepping = 01, model = 02
It has the FDIV bug!
(1.0/824633702449.0)*824633702449.0 is not equal to 1.0!

Gateway 2000 P5-90 purchased end of September '94.

Perhaps Intel will monitor this group (comp.sys.intel) and contact
those who respond with the FDIV bug.

OK. I'm now about to hold my breath....
