My problem is, I am not sure which of the offered "types", or "codenames" is the most accurate for my current CPU. Those offered for AMD CPU's are: (AMD CPUs) opteron athlon64 athlon-mp athlon-xp athlon-4 athlon-tbird athlon k8 k6-3 k6-2 k6 k5 and AMD64 architecture: opteron, athlon64, nocona, prescott, core2 While I realize that is is purported that Openssl is the only port that makes use of this FLAG, I have also noticed other ports that also look/ grope for this. Thank you for all your time and consideration in this matter. --Chris
