My cpuinfo output is very similar to yours. My CPU is an earlier Intel PIII (Katmai instead of Coppermine) running at 450 mhz. My flags line in /proc/cpuinfo is identical to yours. I recommend CFLAGS... CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mmmx -msse -mfpmath=sse" And include the two items... mmx sse ...in your USE variable. Set MAKEOPTS="-j2" How much it speeds up your programs depends on what the programs do. A database program that exercises your hard drive won't speed up much. But cpu-intensive stuff, like mplayer decoding streaming video in real- time (without dropping frames<g>), or gnumeric re-calculating a spreadsheet, will run noticably faster. A list of valid general USE flags is in /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc In /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc there is a list of USE flags that apply to only 1 or 2 applications each. You should use those flags in /etc/portage/package.use -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
