I know this has been covered in the past, but I'm not having much luck searching Google or the archives at the moment. We have a Duron processor on our machine, which was initially set up with an i686 kernel. Would it be best to stick with that? Or should I use an athlon one? vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 7 model name : AMD Duron(TM)Processor stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1311.653 cache size : 64 KB TIA, Brian bts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
