What is the recommended architecture to use for Intel's Core2
(Dual/Quad) processors?
I have two computers I'm considering going amd64 on:
1. My Thinkpad X61s (1GB RAM)
cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU L7300 @ 1.40GHz ("GenuineIntel"
686-class) 1.40 GHz
cpu0:
FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR
real mem = 1029984256 (982MB)
avail mem = 987660288 (941MB)
(full dmesg below)
2. Our new server (hopefully delivered to us tomorrow)
- Intel Core2 Quad Processor (Q6600)
- 4GB (4 * 1GB) ECC RAM
(dmesg not available)
I've found the following (likely incomplete) list of things that may
affect the choice, or might be affected by it, are:
- Memory (4GB limit)
- W^X
- 64-bit instructions
