  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
  24           486DLC/DLC2, and UMC 486SX-S.  Only "386" kernels will run on a 386
  25           class machine.
  26           - "486" for the AMD/Cyrix/IBM/Intel 486DX/DX2/DX4 or
  27           SL/SLC/SLC2/SLC3/SX/SX2 and UMC U5D or U5S.
  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.
  39           - "Efficeon" for the Transmeta Efficeon series.
  40           - "Winchip-C6" for original IDT Winchip.
  41           - "Winchip-2" for IDT Winchips with 3dNow! capabilities.
  42           - "GeodeGX1" for Geode GX1 (Cyrix MediaGX).
  43           - "Geode GX/LX" For AMD Geode GX and LX processors.
  44           - "CyrixIII/VIA C3" for VIA Cyrix III or VIA C3.
  45           - "VIA C3-2" for VIA C3-2 "Nehemiah" (model 9 and above).
  46           - "VIA C7" for VIA C7.
  47
  48           If you don't know what to do, choose "386".
