I noticed when I was updating the sources that it was compiling as an Athlonxp by default. I was wondering if I should change the CPUTYPE in make.conf to something else. I read at some places that it is not recommended because it could cause problems but I thought it would be interesting to start the debate here. Please note that I would prefer not to go with the -STABLE or -CURRENT branch because these a going to be essential productions servers. Thank you for your opinions, Martin
