They all use exactly the same core, give or take some L2 cache, only that X2 and Opteron >= 165 sport two cores, so an SMP-kernel makes a lot of sense there. Same for Turion64, Athlon64, Sempron64, Opteron.Via K8T890. Cheap, cheerful, supports all current s939 chips, and plays fine with a 2.6.8 kernel.Use an AMD64 kernel, with or without smp depending on core count. Depending on the chipset I suggest 2.6.8 for sarge and AMD8000 chipset, for all newer chipsets 2.6.12+ from unstable, for dual core the spanking newest kernel you can get (see older thread below), eg. there's a 2.6.15 kernel in unstable.Am Mittwoch, 25.

However, does the Linux AMD 64 kernel support "AMD64", "AMD64 X2 Dual Core", and "AMD64 FX"? Do they all work with the same AMD64 build? Thanks for the help! :)
