[b77b166f] | 6 | <para>If you have an Intel P6 (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) it is recommended
|
---|
[0d2f891] | 7 | that you compile <acronym>MTRR</acronym> (Memory Type Range Registers) support into the kernel.
|
---|
| 8 | The kernel can map Cyrix and AMD <acronym>CPU</acronym>s to the
|
---|
| 9 | <acronym>MTRR</acronym> interface so selecting this
|
---|
[f45b1953] | 10 | option is useful for those processors also.
|
---|
| 11 | This option is found in the
|
---|
| 12 | "Processor type and features" menu. It can increase performance of
|
---|
[0d2f891] | 13 | image write operations 2.5 times or more on <acronym>PCI</acronym> or
|
---|
| 14 | <acronym>AGP</acronym> video cards.</para>

[f45b1953] | 17 | support on your motherboard. If you do not know the chipset, you may select
|
---|
| 18 | all the chip types at the expense of extra kernel size. You can usually
|
---|
[5836d75] | 19 | determine your motherboard's chipset by doing:</para>
