16 I don't use gentoo sources but I remember reading about gentoo patches
17 for processor specific optimizations and being tempted to try them. Is it
18 possible that is what you're refering to?

20 The vanilla sources only shows 5 choices for me on amd64:
21 (X) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8
22 ( ) Intel P4 / older Netburst based Xeon
23 ( ) Core 2/newer Xeon
24 ( ) Intel Atom
25 ( ) Generic-x86-64
26
27 And it shows a different set of options when I run it on an x86 machine.
