Hi, list! I just upgraded from Athlon xp 1700+ to Sempron 3300+ and of course I have some questions. ;-)
I'm not sure which is the least problematic way to recompile my gentoo in way that the software would be able to utilize the 64bit extensions and the new instruction sets of the CPU. Will changing the CHOST and the CFLAGS followed by "emerge -e world" be enough ? My second question is: AFAIK AMD Sempron 3300+ has "sse3" but my cpuinfo doesn't show it. Is this normal? cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 15 model : 44 model name : AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3300+ stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 2009.055 cache size : 128 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt lm 3dnowext 3dnow up pni lahf_lm ts fid vid ttp tm stc bogomips : 4022.65 -- Best regards, Daniel -- [email protected] mailing list
