18 Many thanks for responding, guys. After reading the AMD64 FAQ and
19 its links, this is my plan:
20
21 1. I'll copy my athlon-xp x86 system to the new box, build the
22 kernel to get support for the new stuff and re-jig the make.conf
23 so:
24
25 CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -msse2 -02 -pipe -ftracer -fomit-frame-pointer"
26 MAKEOPTS="-j3"
27
28 2. Then I'll do an amd64 install on a separate partition - I
29 multi-boot anyway. This way I can see what's best for me.
