Now for the questions |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
* In "make menuconfig", I'm not sure which of 2 CPU options to select in |
| 30 |
Processor type and features ---> |
| 31 |
Processor family (*****************) ---> |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
( ) Athlon/Duron/K7 |
| 34 |
( ) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Which one do I go with? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
* I believe that "pni" == "sse3" (with *TWO* "s") Is that correct? |
| 39 |
* The cpuinfo output shows "sse4a". Is that the same as the "sse4_1" |
| 40 |
USE flag, or is it different |
