 Hi,

 If you don't mind, could you post the output of 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'? I
 am interested in some of the details of that CPU. Mainly I am curious
 if it is a fam10 cpu or something else.

 Hi,
 
 from the above youu will find
 
 address sizes: 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
 
 may be you mistyped the grep keyword ?

 Welcome to the AMD64 family ! :)
 
 Have a nice evening!

Yes, thanks.

Now I have an other small problem setting up the dual boot.  I'll start
another thread on that later.

Thanks again.



Re: [gentoo-user] Which architecture ???

2010-12-08 Thread Michael Hampicke
 I have a laptop which has an AMD Athlon Neo X2 L335 2.2GHz Dual Core
 processor on it and I'd like to know which architecture (handbook and
 livecd) to use.

The Athlon Neo X2 is a x86 processor with amd64 support. So you can
either chose x86 or amd64 (if you'd like to run a 64bit system).

 The handbook choices are:  x86, sparc, amd64, ppc, ppc64, alpha, 
 hppa,
 mips, ia64, arm.  I'm guessing the x86, but I's like to be sure.
 

x86 will do for sure.
But you can check

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep address sizes 

If it shows more than 32 bits (e.g. 48 bits)
then you could use amd64, as well.
AFAIK, 64 is mean stream today.
How much memory do you have installed?
If more than 4G you have to use adm64 to fully use it.
I'd prefer amd64 if possible,

Helmut.

I don't see any address size but when I cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep size I
get casche size 256 KB and clflush size 64.  The laptop has 4G of memory.

Best is, if you take 64bit :-)
