Hmmm what are you asking? Is this a question for c-programming?

Interesting ones are: sse/sse2 multimedia instructions ht hyperthreading acpi I forget the acronym, but this is for advanced configuration and power saving features pae Page address extentions, it lets your support 4GB of memory instead of 16M. > bogomips : 4784.12 An irellevant calculation Linux uses to program its idle loop.
