I don't notice any difference in performance on my Athlon xp 2400 box if I set CPUTYPE=3Dathlon-xp vs. leaving it alone.

Also leaving CPUTYPE unset means I can plug the system disc into any other old x86 box without hitting illegal instructions. In case my motherboard fries itself again some time like the old one did a few weeks ago I'll be glad I can do this. --=20 stefan http://stsp.name PGP Key: 0xF59D25F0 --eHhjakXzOLJAF9wJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFGgAbo5dMCc/WdJfARAl/xAJ0XEXw0D37haxLpi9mNjc4cW2xyrwCfVf2o //77oK5kMQxQV13kI4hwP9U= =15kJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --eHhjakXzOLJAF9wJ--
