Have a look at `grep flags /proc/cpuinfo` to see what your proc supports. There is then no harm in adding them to your /etc/make.conf USE variable. Note: I think that some ebuilds use mmx2 while some use mmxext. AFAICT they enable the same thing. You may also want to add 3dnow and 3dnowext if they are supported by your processor. -d -- darren kirby :: Part of the problem since 1976 :: http://badcomputer.org "...the number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected..." - Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson, June 1972 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
