first time with a 64bit CPU ... kernel config ...

[Marc G. Fournier]

Help ... I'm trying to read through the NOTES file, but ...


1/ I'm running a 3.4G Xeon ... what should I put here for cpu?

#
# You must specify at least one CPU (the one you intend to run on);
# deleting the specification for CPUs you don't need to use may make
# parts of the system run faster.
#
cpu             HAMMER                  # aka K8, aka Opteron & Athlon64

Beyond that one, is there anything that I want to enable/disable?  The 
server is a DL360 (second CPU is en-route) with 6G of RAM ... my kernel 
config is looking like the below right now, mostly based on how I've setup 
my 4.x/i386 servers ...

Thanks ...
