optimal CPUTYPE / arch for Intel T5600 ?

[Rene Ladan]

Hi,

I have an Asus A6JE laptop which has an Intel T5600 CPU.  It is
currently configured as i386
with CPUTYPE=prescott.  But after reading wikipedia, I get the idea
that I have slightly
underconfigured my box, i.e. that a better configuration is possible.
dmesg says (7.0-release):

Maybe some amd64 configuration is possible, since it the cpu has AMD features?

Please cc me, I'm not subscribed.
