| 13 | This is the processor type of your CPU. This information is used for |
| 14 | optimizing purposes. In order to compile a kernel that can run on |
| 15 | all x86 CPU types (albeit not optimally fast), you can specify |
| 16 | "386" here. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The kernel will not necessarily run on earlier architectures than |
| 19 | the one you have chosen, e.g. a Pentium optimized kernel will run on |
| 20 | a PPro, but not necessarily on a i486. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Here are the settings recommended for greatest speed: |
| 23 | - "386" for the AMD/Cyrix/Intel 386DX/DXL/SL/SLC/SX, Cyrix/TI |

| 28 | - "586" for generic Pentium CPUs lacking the TSC |
| 29 | (time stamp counter) register. |
| 30 | - "Pentium-Classic" for the Intel Pentium. |
| 31 | - "Pentium-MMX" for the Intel Pentium MMX. |
| 32 | - "Pentium-Pro" for the Intel Pentium Pro. |
| 33 | - "Pentium-II" for the Intel Pentium II or pre-Coppermine Celeron. |
| 34 | - "Pentium-III" for the Intel Pentium III or Coppermine Celeron. |
| 35 | - "Pentium-4" for the Intel Pentium 4 or P4-based Celeron. |
| 36 | - "K6" for the AMD K6, K6-II and K6-III (aka K6-3D). |
| 37 | - "Athlon" for the AMD K7 family (Athlon/Duron/Thunderbird). |
| 38 | - "Crusoe" for the Transmeta Crusoe series. |
