Optimal kernel configuration for Pentium Dual-Core T4200?

Olaus · 10-27-2009, 04:04 AM

Can I choose anything better than CONFIG_M686 for a Pentium Dual Core (not Core2Duo) in the kernel configuration?

cat /proc/cpuinfo:

Code:

processor       : 1
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 23
model name      : Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU       T4200  @ 2.00GHz
stepping        : 10
...

CONFIG_64BIT=y
CONFIG_X86_64=y
CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT=y
CONFIG_MK8=y
CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM=y

Oh, you mean that I should use it as a 64-bit processor? Interesting, maybe I will try that later on, when more and more software are ported. About CONFIG_MK8, according to the help in the kernel configuration:

Code:

 Select this for an AMD Opteron or Athlon64 Hammer-family processor.

I don't see how that would apply in this case?
