Are you asking if you put into your kernel config file machine i686 ... that you'll see increased performance? There's no such thing as "machine i686". You said you're new to OpenBSD so let me explain. i386 refers to the architecture, e.g. 32-bit x86 machines. It supports all x86 machines from the 486 to the Xeon; see the list here: http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html The kernel doesn't think your machine has a 386 CPU. Type this and see for yourself: $ dmesg | grep ^cpu You'll get the best performance by leaving the kernel alone and instead running better software, e.g. a light window manager instead of Gnome, xxxterm instead of Firefox, etc. Nicolai
