Or maybe a headache. Looking for info on modifying the kernel. If possible, i want to custom tailor it to run at max performance on my Phenom X6
Will most likely install a new cooy of 14.04 or 15.04 (15.10?) and mess with it. Have another machine close I can bring up instructions on

Full stats for computer, if it matters
ASUS M478 mb (essentio cm1730)
AMD Phenom X6 proc
16Gb ram
drives:
1 500Gb ssd
1 1Tb hdd
1 3Tb hdd
1 250Gb Hdd
Nvidia 6110Gt video card (old but usable)

Or can I just find a kernel tailored to the phenom?

It will probably be both. Haven't compiled a kernel in close to 10 years. It isn't ridiculously hard, and there are plenty of tutorials on it. The hard part is determining what to try out, which will take research and old fashioned trial-and-error.

My thoughts are that you likely may not be able to notice any differences, but you won't know till you do it

Thinking it may not be worth the trouble. Spent an hour or so trying to install gentoo. ran into an error I couldn't get around and abandoned it. maybe I'll just see if someone else has done it
