Hi everyone, Today, I ordered a new desktop from Dell (offer too good to pass up!). The system is a Dell XPS 8300 with an Intel Core i7 processor. I was reading the Gentoo wiki about safe CFLAGS and it said that march=native is recommended if I use gcc >= 4.2.3.
I looked at processor specific CFLAGS and if I am understanding this correctly, for an Intel i7, I would use march=prescott for a 32 bit OS. It also mentions march=core2 if using gcc > 4.3 for a 64-bit OS. However, it has amd64 in brackets. So would this be for an amd system? Should I stick with march="native"? Advice would be appreciated. Regards, Colleen -- Registered Linux User #411143 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org
