Hi all,
I am waiting for a new PC...
motherboard Asus P6X58D-E
Intel Core i7 950
4Go DDR
Gforce GT240
I use Gentoo for nearly 8 years, and of course, it will be Gentoo on
that new pc.
Besides desktop working, i am going to study and produce some image and
video synthesis.
I have some questions :
32 bits or 64 bits ? advantages and inconvenients ?
What CFLAGS have i to choose and what about kernel settings (Processor
type and features) ?
Thank you very much for your advices,
Cheers,

I just built me a new rig so I just went through the same thing. This
is how I did mine. I booted a CD/DVD and used "lspci -k | grep driver"
to list the drivers in use. That helps a lot. With that, you can use
the search feature when doing the kernel config.
I went with 64 bit and used a miltilib profile. So far, everything is
working fine. All my usual websites are working and everything. This
is my USE flags:

I put the ones that I changed in bold for you. Don't copy and paste
that since the * may mess up portage. Since this list is supposed to be
text only, I had to make them bold with the *.
Since you are using a nvidia card, read this too.

Basically, enable CONFIG_SYSVIPC in the kernel. The nvidia driver won't
load without that. I have the following built into my kernel:
Symmetric multi-processing support
Enable MPS table
AMD IOMMU support
MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support
Preemption Model (Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop))
There are others but I think that is all that is different.
That get you started?
