[Asterisk-Users] Which g729 codec to download for a P4?

[Steve Gladden]

Sorry for being a bit of a newbie here but I find the
docs or README for downloading the G.729 codec from Digium
are not as detailed as I would like or just don't really
break down the different versions to a point that I am clear
on which one to grab.

The choices for 32bit are:

drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 athlon-xp
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 c3
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 c3-2
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 i386
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 i586
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 i686
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 k6-3
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 pentium-m
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 pentium3m
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 pentium4m
drwxr-xr-x    3 0        0            4096 Dec 05 00:21 prescott


I'm unclear if "athlon-xp" is only for athlon xp or all athlons/durons
if not what is best for athlons & durons?
I will need to install g.729 on a duron server soon.


But immediately I need to install g.729 on our P4 server
and I'm a little confused on 'which p4' I need to install.

What is the 'm' for in pentium4m?
seems to mean 'multi' processor but I am totally unclear on this.
what the heck is just a 'pentium-m'?
Thanks for your help.

I apologize for the rediculousness of this question, but was hoping to find
a chart on which preocessor is what in the README.

I have a pentium4 server but do not understand how to quickly tell if I
have a pentium4m a prescott or an i686

I 'think' it's a wiliamette just by clock speed and wild guessing from
memory about the time the variouss cores came out but that's it!

Here's what the kernel says:

 cat cpuinfo

Thanks & take care!
