It should work out of the box for the Athlon. You might need to do the |
| 2 |
usual stuff when you get new hardware, compile new kernel ... ;-) |

|

If you want to have a Athlon optimizied system (should be worth when |
| 5 |
using gcc-3.x ... at least people tell me), you can have a look at: |

which mentions a couple of methods how to recompile your whole system. |

Btw. I use the following for my Athlon XP 1800: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" |
| 14 |
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse |
| 15 |
-fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -Wall -pipe" |
| 16 |
CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse |
| 17 |
-fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -Wall -pipe" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
with gcc-3.2. |
