| |
Can anyone recommend the correct/preferred selection for "Processor type" (CONFIG_M386) when compiling for the AMD P75 aka AMD-586/133?
As far as I know, this chip is not a Pentium clone, but just a juiced up 486. However, will the kernel run better if I select Pentium?
I ask this question because of the following lines in Configure.help.
