Hi all. I am installing Funtoo on a Lenovo C200. It has an Atom D525 processor, and the motherboard supports a maximum of 2 GB of memory, so I want to use Funtoo in 32 Bits, but in the Funtoo database, this processor appears inside the "atom 64" subarch which contains these Flags: mmx sse sse2 sse3. When analyzing my CPU with the command "lscpu" I see that it does not have sse3. And if I go to the subarch "atom 32" there is also the Flag sse3. How can I perform an installation in which Funtoo perfectly matches the processor and get the most out of it? I have been researching and an option would be to install the generic32 subarch and then recompile everything by modifying make.conf ? But if I set the autodetection (march = native) will it change everything from 32 bits to 64 bits since the processor is 64 bits? I clarify that although the processor is 64 bits, I want to use it in 32 bits only, because the motherboard supports a maximum of 2 GB of memory. Could someone give me a hand with this please?

Hi funtooers, I was born with a bad left eye and hence my right eye is EXTREMELY strained, myopic and tired after 30+ years of using and working with computers. Before I possibly needlessly start reading through the pages for Metro, I would like to know if pursuing the associated processes would produce any sufficient benefits over installing the available Stage 3 Build for my Laptop. Boot time is important to me and for a reference from the moment the GRUB entry was executed, for Manajaro 0.9.0 Xfce+Ob OpenRC, the Login Screen was displayed in 22 seconds which is a lot better than the variable 30+ seconds it would take for Manjaro Xfce 0.8.10 using systemd (vomit!!). Applications I would be using would be as follows. Internet Browser - Pale Moon Skype aMule Network Manager - USB Broadband Modems Libre Office PDF Editing - Master PDF Editor GIMP Text Editor D.E. - Xfce or Cinnamon Multimedia Audio/Video Burning Screenshot File Manager - spaceFM File Search is really good GParted Gnome Disks inxi -F produces the following output.
