<div class="im">&gt; AFAIK mandriva packages are not optimized/built for i686<br>
&gt; (anything above Pentium Pro) but for i586. And i suppose<br>
&gt; that&#39;s not gonna change.<br>
<br>
</div>If I remember well, the long i586/i686 debate on cooker has been<br>
terminated with 2 facts : there are no massive improvements on software<br>
X (I don&#39;t remember which one) and we have to keep compatibility with<br>
some netbooks (OEM with mandriva).<br>
<br>
If mageia doesn&#39;t target these netbooks and if you can show real<br>
improvement, I think this can be discussed.<br>

Have a nice day<br>
<font color="#888888"><br></font></blockquote><div><br>Well, since we are *not*  that linked to Mandriva, we could avoid this problem by producing a netbook edition if needed. Why restricting our work to i586/x86-64?<br>
<br>For some programs, there is a significant boost in using sse/sse2 (for instance the mlt library, povray rendering, etc).<br><br>I&#39;ve enabled them explicitly in mandriva some time ago in the x86-64 build, and it should be the default there. If some arch do not comply to the &quot;sse2&quot; demand, then we can discuss this on a &quot;specific basis, but not limit everyone on this...<br>
