Lennart, your estimate was spot on !

I just purchased a new system for $362.95 from Filtech
Computers<http://filtechcomputer.com/>( plus tax came to $410.00
overall )
A dual core Intel i3- 4130 3.4Ghz with 8 GB RAM.The motherboard is a ASUS
H81M-E ( again like you suggested ). The processor specs say it has 4
threads so am guessing if we hyperthread we can have the 2 cores + 2
logical cores ? Or is that a bad idea ?

They had many off-lease and re-certified systems but after much thought I
decided to go with the brand new motherboard + CPU + RAM even though it
cost more.

And I figured out ccache ( reading through Greg Kroah-Hartman's Linux
Kernel In A Nutshell <http://www.kroah.com/lkn/>  gave me the answer )
If you run:  make CC="ccache gcc" THEN it does kick in but I still get
weird errors like not a C/C++ file and unsupported compiler option . But at
least it is working sort of :)

I have a question will a 64bit system compile a kernel faster all other
things being equal ? My concern is this, I install a 64bit version of
Ubuntu and use that to compile and take full advantage of the bus width but
what about all the other applications we have come to depend on over the
years most of which are 32bit  ? Will they run ?

Thank's - Aruna
