As the title says, is anyone working on support for Athlons, and when can we expect it to arrive back in -stable ? (I can't find anything in the latest versions of sys/i386/i386/identcpu.c) Also, what actually needs to be done, it doesn't look difficult to add code to recognise the cpu, what extra stuff to do may be harder, but I've not got round to reading the specs anyway. (egcs development seems to have athlon support now, I've not tried it and I've only seen patches so far by searching the mailing list) It would be great to find all the benefits of my shiny new hardware (actually it's beige =( ), if indeed there are that many. (perhaps the 3DNow stuff would give some advantages!) Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
