#2753 — Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500

SubjectIntel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500
Message-ID<meisi3$64e$1@reader1.panix.com>
I'm compiling my own kernel and I'm confused at what I am reading in the
configuration file  This machine is a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E8500
and my choices in the menuconfig is:

 │
       │ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │
       │ │         ( ) Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8                    │ │
       │ │         ( ) Intel P4 / older Netburst based Xeon          │ │
       │ │         ( ) Core 2/newer Xeon                             │ │
       │ │         ( ) Intel Atom                                    │ │
       │ │         (X) Generic-x86-64                                │ │
       │ │                                                           │ │
       │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘


So, I think I need the core 2/new Xeon but the help message
 CONFIG_MCORE2:
  Select this for Intel Core 2 and newer Core 2 Xeons (Xeon 51xx and
 53xx) CPUs. You can distinguish newer from older Xeons by the CPU
 family in /proc/cpuinfo. Newer ones have 6 and older ones 15
 (not a typo) Symbol: MCORE2 [=y]
 Type  : boolean
  Prompt: Core 2/newer Xeon
Location:
   -> Processor type and features
  -> Processor family (<choice> [=y])
   Defined at arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu:254
  Depends on: <choice>

Yes, you need to select "Core2/newer Xeon".  The distinction "newer 
Xeons" is because Intel has also made Xeon versions with 64-bit support 
based upon the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture.

Thank YOU.  I hope this is archived for the future.

Well, there's really no need to archive the answer, as it was quite 
obvious all along.  What part of "Core 2/whatever" don't you understand, 
if you have a Core 2 processor?

Sheesh.

Troll?  LOL

One might think *YOU* were trolling with such a ridiculous "question", if 
it wasn't completely obvious that you wouldn't be smart enough for such a 
task.

Seriously, though, you have a "Core2" processor and don't know that the 
"Core2" choice would probably be the right one?  Really?  REALLY??
