If you're not using PIII programs which use SIMD (or SSE - Intel officialese)
just stick with 2.2.5.15. But if you absolutely must use the PIII instructions,
then you should get the patch and recompile 2.2.10 and enable all hardware
support you need (try make xconfig). Then do make modules; make modules_install

Look at the kernel README file for more on kernel compilation.
