I'd guess that since amd64 is a relatively new platform there shouldn't be much advantage to specifying the CPUTYPE. On i386 there's a huge difference between an i486 and core2 so it can make sense to specify the CPU, but there's much less difference between the various amd64 CPUs. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
