(CDT), "Gregg" <gregg@××.am> was overheard saying to the guard: |

I'm new to the list and Gentoo, but I would think that your new Athlon |
| 17 |
would run the i686 binaries without trouble at all. If I were in your |
| 18 |
position I'd do the hardware upgrade and then after the upgrade, change |
| 19 |
the flags to Athlon optimizations. As you upgrade packages your system |
| 20 |
will slowly convert over to Athlon-specific binaries. |

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong! |
