I'd use prescott for this one, as you're using x86 CHOST anyway.





Does this CPU have 64-bit extensions?



  

I believe it does, check the flags at /proc/cpuinfo to be sure.
nocona would be my choice if possible to create a 64 bits system.




Alright, I'll give nocona a try.  Should I be using
CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu?  And the processor family in the kernel
should be Pentium-4/Celeron(P4-based)/Pentium-4 M/older Xeon?


  

I wouldn't use x86_64-pc-linux-gnu unless you want to break your system. Unless 
you are starting from scratch 64 bit.



Is there any way to switch to that CHOST after I've already installed
a stage3?  If I do get this working with 64 bits, will I be using
amd64 packages even though it's not an AMD system, or would I still be
x86?

- Grant

  

Have you already installed a 32bit stage3? If so there is no way to
switch except for a reinstall. AMD64 is for both AMD and Intel 64 bit.



Do you think Generic-x86_64 in the kernel?

- Grant
  
I think you're safe with that. According the kernel Family 15 is older 
Netburst and family 6 is the newer Core micro architectures. You can 
tell by /proc/cpuinfo.

I'm going ahead with i686 and i686-pc-linux-gnu for now because I want
to get this thing set up, but I'm planning on doing an emerge -e world
when I'm done.

Does this CPU have 64-bit extensions?
  

It looks like it does.

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sspec=slaec

Does it support sse3?
If /proc/cpuinfo flags has pni
Then I'd go with march=prescott

If you click View processor number details here:

http://www.intel.com/cd/products/services/emea/eng/processors/pentium_dual-core/340988.htm

it is clearly a 64 bit CPU.  Do-over.
