+<p>
+Both refer to 64-bit processors from AMD (AMD64) and Intel (EM64T). AMD's 64-bit
+processors include the Athlon 64, Turion, Neo, Phenom, and Opteron families. Intel's
+64-bit processors include the Core2, Celeron, Xeon, and Pentium (all based on
+the Core2 architecture). The <uri
+link="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em64t#Intel_64">last few versions</uri> of the
+old Pentium 4 and Xeon chips also support EM64T.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The AMD line of 64-bit processors were released well ahead of Intel's offering.
+Therefore, for historical reasons the arch keyword for all x86-64 compatible
+architectures is amd64. As such, <e>AMD64</e> is a generic reference to 64-bit
+chips, whether AMD or Intel.

You should use simple <c>CFLAGS</c> to avoid future problems with your system.

the hell with using cpudyn. it's antiquated, outdated, and a bitch to configure. now using cpufrequtils, which is extremely simple. also updated the kernel config, as it was completely outdated with recent kernels. fortunately, most of these options should already be set in the default config, so users won't have to change much. plus it works better for em64t users, too. less focused exclusively on AMD chips
