Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2013 20:48:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130209014808.GB11071@waltdnes.org> (raw)
I'm installing Gentoo on a brand new toy I just got myself. Here are
the choices from "make menuconfig". Is "Core 2/newer Xeon" correct?
( ) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8
( ) Intel P4 / older Netburst based Xeon
(X) Core 2/newer Xeon
( ) Intel Atom
( ) Generic-x86-64
