You already have good answer from Arjan van de Ven. I'm about to submit a patch for string-486.h where 3Dnow! support will be removed. It is not needed as routines in this file expect 486 or older 586. Anyway, i'm in doubt if this file will be ever used. Petkan Yann Dirson wrote: >

- CONFIG_MK6 is described as "K6/K6-II/K6-III", and CONFIG_MK7 as "Athlon/K7". Of these two, only the latter defines CONFIG_X86_USE_3DNOW, although K6-II and K6-III do provide 3DNOW instructions. The Athlon has an extended version of 3DNOW, which the kernel uses as of test11-pre2. The
