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?
