kernel optimized for Athlon XP 1800+

Hi there,

I installed FreeBSD 5.0 a few days ago and I love it. This is what I
wanted to turn my linux box into for a long time!

Anyway; it's an Athlon CPU, and when compiling my custom kernel, I
couldn't find any option more specific then CPU_I686 (also said
ATHLON_SSE_HACK). I only want to make sure that it really gets optimized
for my Athlon (so far, all ports compile with -mcpu=pentiumpro).

Is it so that for FreeBSD5.0 there is just a 'class' of I686 CPUs
(without differentiating more) or is there some other option I missed?

btw, what is fb50's analogy of what linux names /proc/cpuinfo ?

Thank you

Jan
