Hello All:
I've spent my entire FreeBSD life in /sys/i386 using Intel chips. We
have a new server with the AMD processor listed below and I'm wondering
if:
1) I should stay in /sys/i386 with different configuration variables; or
2) Compile out of /sys/amd64
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 240 EE (1396.03-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0xf5a Stepping = 10
Features=0x78bfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,
MCA,CM
OV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2>
AMD Features=0xe0500800<SYSCALL,NX,MMX+,LM,3DNow+,3DNow>
Regards,
Mike
