I upgraded my cpu to a sempron with 64bit extension (Sempron 3400+ for 754, to be precise). After some googling and reading, I still can't figure those out:
- Why do some instruction flags don't appear at /proc/cpuinfo? sse3 and x86-64, specifically. Do they have different names? (output follows). According to a tom's hw chart, there's no such thing as a sempron 3400 for 754 platform without sse3 and x86-64.

Is the complete 64bit reinstall worth the hassle? thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
