I've got several machines that I want to maintain identical installations on. Some of them have athlon-xp CPUs and some have pentium4's. What would be a good CPUTYPE setting to use in make.conf? Would an athlon-xp run well (or at all) if I used pentium4? Would a pentium4 run well (or at all) if I used athlon-xp? Or should I use a "lowest common denominator" (and if so, what -- something like i686 perhaps?). I guess the other question is whether I should worry about this at all -- I've got no CPUTYPE setting in make.conf at the moment at all -- would a more "tuned" setting actually make that much difference?
