what processor type should I select while compiling kernel?

what processor should i select when i configure compiling kernel?

my processor is dual core Celeron M, here's some of the /proc/cpuinfo:

processor    : 0
vendor_id    : GenuineIntel
cpu family    : 6
model        : 14
model name    : Genuine Intel(R) CPU           T2300  @ 1.66GHz
stepping    : 8

i think that I should select "Pentium M",
but on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Safe_Cflags/Intel they write:

The newer (eg. 420) Celeron-M processors are Core Solo based, not Pentium-M based. If your processor's family and model are 6 and 14, then you should use the -march=prescott option.

any ideas?

Have you read the "warning" heading on the page you linked?

yes, but i don't ask about configuring makepkg, i ask what processor family should i select when compiling kernel

I think cpu family 6 it's core2. Its what I'm using in my custom kernel.

what is in the flags section of your cpuinfo?

EDIT: Based on what you show there its possible that it is pentium 4 based celeron.
