Hi all, Just wondering if anyone could help me out with an issue on FreeBSD which has been puzzling me for a while and only now do I have the time to go and figure it out. We currently have version 5.4 installed but understand that the architecture it is set up for is a generic i386. How do I go about optimising my base system and/or installed ports to recognise my CPU as an i686 and therefore make use of this type of CPU. I have enclosed the first part of my dmesg output to identify the CPU. CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (3000.12-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf41 Stepping = 1 Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,C MOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Hyperthreading: 2 logical CPUs real memory = 1064501248 (1015 MB) avail memory = 1032130560 (984 MB) Many thanks in advance for any feedback on this issue. Regards Philip Radford
