Hi,
I recently installed AMD64 6.2 Release on 2 PowerEdge servers, both with
dual core Xeon (3070 and 5110). I noticed when I was updating the
sources that it was compiling as an Athlonxp by default. I was wondering
if I should change the CPUTYPE in make.conf to something else. I read at
some places that it is not recommended because it could cause problems
but I thought it would be interesting to start the debate here. Please
note that I would prefer not to go with the -STABLE or -CURRENT branch
because these a going to be essential productions servers.
Thank you for your opinions,
Martin
It's preferred to be nocona for 64-bit support (EMT-64 support to be
exact) and prescott for 32-bit only support. There should be a core2duo
CPUTYPE rolling around the corner in the near future IIRC, but that will
most likely be in gcc 4.3, which I believe it slated for being stable
1~1.5 years from now.
