I am not sure how much difference in performance you will see from the recompile for your processor.... And FYI, from the changelog for the most recent FC2 kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2: * Fri Dec 31 2004 Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx> - Drop 4g/4g patch completely. And from the announcement: A large change over previous kernels has been made. The 4G:4G memory split patch has been dropped, and Fedora kernels now revert back to the upstream 3G:1G kernel/userspace split. --Rob
