I have no idea what's the meaning of "Family" by Intel. well ... people 'kind of familiarly' with reading manuals and specs are already having difficulties here so imagin an average user (unkndefspec) who likes to optimize his kernel (his cpu's kernel of course :) ) so as far as there are a cpu options for a freebsd kernel they should be understandable so it might be worse thinking well before doing (=less support = less questions = less problemas) -- João A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
