amd64 will only work on a core2duo if it's a T7200 or higher - the lower numbers are 32-bit-only chipsets. I admit not knowing what exact variant the Mac has. > I believe the closest optimization for a Core2 is probably the Pentium M > (certainly not the P4/netburst). Not entirely sure though. CONFIG_MCORE2=y That's probably even closer :) At least in 2.6.20-rc4-mm1.
