Frankly, very nominal at best, using Athlon arch can actualy have adverse affects on your performance if something isn't just tweaked correctly (speaking in terms of hardware not software). There was a heavy discussion on the lkml sometime back, and I was somewhat surprised when RedHat chose to include an Athlon optimized kernel in their default install of 7.2. I see no speakable difference between my Mandrake 8.1 using i686 arch and my RedHat 7.2 install using the Athlon kernel. NOTE: They are different kernel versions, but thats a different story all together. Once again, I belive it to be nominal if _any_ gain what-so-ever. cheers deg
