Sorry, no suggestions for 2.95.3. I'm pretty sure you could compile the
kernel with 64 bit stuff, and the kernel functions would be optimized
for the Opteron, since that's in the code, but I don't *think* your
compiler will optimize anything for 64 bits. I could be wrong.
I've been using 3.2.1/3.2.2 for awhile, and so far, so good. Just make
sure if you compile your kernel with gcc version X, you compile any new
modules (say for VMWare), you use the same compiler, even if it's older.
You can get some very Winbloze like behavior if you don't. :-)
