Hi, A few days ago I had to replace my Motherboard and CPU. Now I want to make use of the new CPUs features. Old CPU: Intel Pentium 4 New CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (Prescott) # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz stepping : 3 cpu MHz : 3209.105 cache size : 2048 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe lm pni monitor ds_cpl est cid cx16 xtpr bogomips : 6340.60
So I'm planning to do something along these lines: 1) Change CFLAGS in make.conf Old: CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=pentium4 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" New: CFLAGS="-O2 -march=prescott -mmmx -msse -msse2 --pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" 2) emerge --emptytree system 3) emerge --emptytree world Would that be the right CFLAGS for this CPU? And would it be the right procedure to get my system "up to date" with my new CPU?
