If memory serves me, about a month ago I we determined it was a 686 cpu. Take a look through the mailing list archives to see. The other thing you can do is build a kernel for both, boot it, and see what it reports. To my understanding the real gain (speed wise) is the removal of the 386 code. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Scott Culverhouse [SMTP:bsd@dna-is.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 17, 1999 10:54 AM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Kernel and cpu_type! > > I am rebuilding the kernel on 7 Cyrix 6x86MX 233.86-MHz machines and I > need to know what kernel option to use for the cpu_type! > > I know I can leave them all in but I want to cut the system down as much > as I can.
