+First, you can use a 32-bit browser like <c>mozilla-firefox-bin</c> or

+Second, you can use a 64-bit browser such as <c>mozilla-firefox</c> with the
+32-bit Flash plugin by emerging <c>nspluginwrapper</c>, a which lets you load
+32-bit plugins on 64-bit browsers. Install your browser, <c>netscape-flash</c>,
+and then <c>nspluginwrapper</c>. The wrapper will automatically detect and setup
+Flash for your browser.

<section id="cflags">
<title>What CFLAGS should I use for AMD64/EM64T?</title>
<body>
<p>
You should use simple <c>CFLAGS</c> to avoid future problems with your system.
For example, you should use <c>CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"</c> for Athlon64 or
Opteron and <c>CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"</c> for a EM64T processor. If
you plan to use a 32-bit chroot, you should use <c>CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp
-O2 -pipe -msse2"</c> for a AMD64 processor and for a EM64T, you should use
<c>CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe"</c> <e>inside the chroot</e>.
</p>
<note>
<c>-march=k8</c> is the same as <c>-march=athlon64</c> and
<c>-march=opteron</c>.
</note>
<warn>
You should <e>never</e> stick <c>-fPIC</c>, <c>-m32</c> or <c>-m64</c> into
your <c>CFLAGS</c>. They are automatically added whenever they are needed.
Please also note that the <c>-Os</c> flag is currently not supported.
</warn>
</body>
</section>
<section id="kernel">
<title>What kernel should I use for AMD64?</title>
<body>
<p>
You can use almost all kernel sources available in Portage. We recommend to use
<c>gentoo-sources</c> because it is a special flavor kernel designed for Gentoo
Linux. It contains lots of AMD64-specific patches and therefore is the only
flavor supported by Gentoo/AMD64. You can try <c>vanilla-sources</c> as well.
If you feel brave or you need extra hardware support, you can always try the
experimental kernel from Andrew Morton called <c>mm-sources</c>.
</p>
<warn>
You should watch out for some kernel features which are not tested well, such
as <c>PREEMPT</c>.

</body>
</section>
<section id="perfup">
<title>Will I have a performance upgrade if I use 64-bit system instead of 32-bit?</title>
<body>
<p>
That is a difficult question to answer. In some cases, you will experience a
performance improvement, in other cases you will not. For everyday use, there
is nearly no difference between 64-bit and 32-bit. 64-bit is generally faster
when it comes to floating point computing which is normally the case in
multimedia applications and 3D rendering. This <uri
