| 237 | On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) |
| 238 | the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control |
| 239 | processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have |
| 240 | a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining |
| 241 | allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer |
| 242 | before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance |
| 243 | of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a |
| 244 | /proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's |
| 245 | MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this. |
| 246 | |
| 247 | This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar |
| 248 | control registers on other processors can be easily supported |
| 249 | as well. |
| 250 | |
| 251 | Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only |
| 252 | set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This |
| 253 | can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here. |
| 254 | |
| 255 | Just say Y here, all x86-64 machines support MTRRs. |
