|
This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for
|
||
|
optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on
|
||
|
all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify
|
||
|
"386" here.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than
|
||
|
the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on
|
||
|
a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed:
|
||
|
- "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI
|
||
|
486DLC/DLC2, and UMC 486SX-S. Only "386" kernels will run on a 386
|
||
|
class machine.
|
||
|
- "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
|
||
|
SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
|
||
|
- "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC
|
||
|
(time stamp counter) register.
|
||
|
- "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium.
|
||
|
- "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX.
|
||
|
- "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro.
|
||
|
- "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron.
|
||
|
- "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron.
|
||
|
- "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron.
|
||
|
- "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D).
|
||
|
- "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird).
|
||
|
- "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series.
|
||
|
- "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
|
||
|
- "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
|
||
|
- "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
|
||
|
- "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
|
||
|
- "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
|
||
|
- "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
|
||
|
- "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
|
||
|
- "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
|
||

If you don't know what to do, choose "386".
