Help with Duron settings in make.conf

Littlebear

Hi All,

Could someone please advise what would be the closest setting to suit and AMD Duron 1.3Ghz CPU on the -mcpu switch in make.conf. I currently have it set to i686. None of the CPU types listed seem to suit the Duron CPU. Also should i add -3dnow to this line. I have no problems with the other switches on this line.

Thank for your help

This guy did some extensive testing with a 1.3 Duron. It's kind of technical, but it may be of some use.

Personally, I would use some sort of --march=athlon or one of it's derivations, with a backup kernel in /boot.

Thx Danza,

That was a very interesting read. I will certainly use some info from it.
