[TriLUG] Which Processor Should I Optimize For with an Opteron?

[Randy Barlow]

Hi,

    In Kdevelop, I can choose to compile for i386 architecture and I 
know this will work for the 64-bit Opteron, but wouldn't there be an 
option that would run better on my machine?  Is there another compiler 
flag other than the architecture type that I should use to 
optimize/create 64-bit code?  Thanks!
