For example, you should use <c>CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"</c> for Athlon64 or Opteron and <c>CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"</c> for a EM64T processor. If you plan to use a 32-bit chroot, you should use <c>CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -msse2"</c> for a AMD64 processor and for a EM64T, you should use <c>CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe"</c> <e>inside the chroot</e>. </p> <note> <c>-march=k8</c> is the same as <c>-march=athlon64</c> and <c>-march=opteron</c>. </note> <warn> You should <e>never</e> stick <c>-fPIC</c>, <c>-m32</c> or <c>-m64</c> into your <c>CFLAGS</c>. They are automatically added whenever they are needed. Please also note that the <c>-Os</c> flag is currently not supported. </warn> </body> </section> <section id="kernel"> <title>What kernel should I use for AMD64?</title> <body> <p> You can use almost all kernel sources available in Portage. We recommend to use <c>gentoo-sources</c> because it is a special flavor kernel designed for Gentoo Linux. It contains lots of AMD64-specific patches and therefore is the only flavor supported by Gentoo/AMD64. You can try <c>vanilla-sources</c> as well. If you feel brave or you need extra hardware support, you can always try the experimental kernel from Andrew Morton called <c>mm-sources</c>. </p> <warn> You should watch out for some kernel features which are not tested well, such as <c>PREEMPT</c>. </warn> </body> </section> <section id="perfup"> <title>Will I have a performance upgrade if I use 64-bit system instead of 32-bit?</title> <body> <p> That is a difficult question to answer. In some cases, you will experience a performance improvement, in other cases you will not. For everyday use, there is nearly no difference between 64-bit and 32-bit. 64-bit is generally faster when it comes to floating point computing which is normally the case in multimedia applications and 3D rendering.
