The list was filled with this subject since the AGP speed issue came up.

Maybe the right CPU is only the on you happen to have in your machine?
I'm compiling for PIII and I turned on MTRR.
Do you have other options?
It's a shame SMP won't work, I have a dual box at home that would be a
screamer with openGL.
There are probably some SMP issues with the binary-only Nvidia driver I
use there as well, so I use only one CPU most of the time.

If you have specific examples of that, the kernel people would probably
like to hear about them.
