I'm (re)installing Gentoo on an older AMD notebook. The output from
"less /proc/cpuinfo" includes...

Now for the questions
* In "make menuconfig", I'm not sure which of 2 CPU options to select in
Processor type and features --->
Processor family (*****************) --->
( ) Athlon/Duron/K7
( ) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8
Which one do I go with?
* I believe that "pni" == "sse3" (with *TWO* "s") Is that correct?
* The cpuinfo output shows "sse4a". Is that the same as the "sse4_1"
USE flag, or is it different
