choosing the cputype for core 2 duo?

[Oliver Aruväli]

Hi,

So I am building an allaround server for an average business, 30 or so
workstations and some misc machines. I was presented with a machine, which
in my mind is bit of an overkill, but if they are willing to spend then I
think I should give them the maximum I can squeeze out from that PC. So the
„server” has a conroe core 2 duo processor. What would be the best choice in
make.conf as a CPUTYPE paramater for this processor (other make.conf related
recommendations also welcome). I have had only experience installing freebsd
on a bit older amd machines where the choise was obvious.

 

Thank you all in advance,

Oliver

I think the closest you can use is pentium-m, while adding -msse3 to
CFLAGS. Perhaps something like:

CPUTYPE?=pentium-m
CFLAGS=-O2 -mmmx -msse -msse2 -msse3 -pipe
