A better option would be to switch to 64 bit and then stop
worrying about the CPUTYPE :-) Those AMD processors work
very nicely in 64 bit mode.

It has to be said that actually on a modern processor I will doubt
you will notice much (if any) difference tweaking the CPU type. When
I first came to FreeBSD I used to obessively tweak optimisation
settings all over the place. These days I leave more or less everything
at the defalts, and life is perfectly happy... certainly given the
CPU you ar switching to, I would just not bother setting CPUTYPE. try
it "as-is", and if i is too slow then start looking for optimisations.
