I don't notice any difference in performance on my Athlon xp 2400 box if I set CPUTYPE=athlon-xp vs. leaving it alone. YMMV though, ask the gentoo people :) > Right now I have no CPUTYPE set at all. Also leaving CPUTYPE unset means I can plug the system disc into any other old x86 box without hitting illegal instructions. In case my motherboard fries itself again some time like the old one did a few weeks ago I'll be glad I can do this. -- stefan http://stsp.name PGP Key: 0xF59D25F0
