What about the new Pentium II processors ?? Which compilation option
should I use ?? I've been having some problems with memory mapped boards
in a Pentium II in Linux, problems that I don't have if I load NT in the
same machine. I thought about trying the latest development kernel to
chack whether it would solve the problem, but as I can see, there is no
option for Pentium II's yet.

The question is: is a Pentium II option necessary ??

Thanks in advance.
