It is currently configured as i386 with CPUTYPE=prescott. But after reading wikipedia, I get the idea that I have slightly underconfigured my box, i.e. that a better configuration is possible. dmesg says (7.0-release): CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz (1828.77-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x6f6 Stepping = 6 Features=0xbfebfbff Features2=0xe3bd AMD Features=0x20100000 AMD Features2=0x1 Cores per package: 2 real memory = 2147287040 (2047 MB) avail memory = 2095947776 (1998 MB) ACPI APIC Table: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 ioapic0 irqs 0-23 on motherboard acpi0: <_ASUS_ Notebook> on motherboard acpi0: [ITHREAD] acpi0: Power Button (fixed) acpi0: reservation of 0, a0000 (3) failed acpi0: reservation of 100000, 7ff00000 (3) failed Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: <24-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x808-0x80b on acpi0 acpi_ec0: port 0x62,0x66 on acpi0 acpi_hpet0: iomem 0xfed00000-0xfed003ff on acpi0 Timecounter "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 900 cpu0: on acpi0 coretemp0: on cpu0 est0: on cpu0 est: CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized. est: cpu_vendor GenuineIntel, msr 6130b2406000b24 device_attach: est0 attach returned 6 p4tcc0: on cpu0 cpu1: on acpi0 ACPI Warning (tbutils-0243): Incorrect checksum in table [SSDT] - 77, should be 2C [20070320] coretemp1: on cpu1 est1: on cpu1 p4tcc1: on cpu1 Maybe some amd64 configuration is possible, since it the cpu has AMD features?
