mobo + CPU changes and Linux	by SD Maruko-kun	2001-11-07 10:17:42
Linux kernels are usually compiled for a certain CPU and up (distributions probably choose 486 or 386, I choose K6 and K7, since those are my CPUs), but what are windows kernels compiled for? Are they just 386/486 compiled (since win9x can run on such hardware) or do they contain optimizations for all CPUs combined (adding lots of bulk, since you've only got one of those about a dozen CPUs...)? mobos? Well, the IDE chipset and mobo chipset (optimization/bugfix) configuration options are IMHO the creapiest and most confusing parts of compiling a Linux kernel. :( They should IMHO tripple the 'help' for those parts.
