Have a look at `grep flags /proc/cpuinfo` to see what your proc supports. |
| 11 |
There is then no harm in adding them to your /etc/make.conf USE variable. |

Note: I think that some ebuilds use mmx2 while some use mmxext. AFAICT they |
| 14 |
enable the same thing. You may also want to add 3dnow and 3dnowext if they |
| 15 |
are supported by your processor. |
