Since the last package:
https://github.com/sanekgusev/LinX-old/releases/tag/0.6.5

... don't have Linpack patched for AMD CPUs here is how to do-it-yourself:


* Linpack - How to patch for AMD CPUs:
(by BilBg - I compared several original and patched versions of Linpack to find the following)

- You need to patch only one byte in files linpack_xeon32.exe , linpack_xeon64.exe

Change the first occurrence (near the beginning of file, somewhere around offset 400-1000)
of Hex bytes 00 00 85 C0 75:

Find 		00 00 85 C0 75
Change to 	00 00 85 C0 EB

00 00 85 C0 75 --> 00 00 85 C0 EB

i.e. change only one byte:
75 to EB


You can use this program for the patch:
HxD - Freeware Hex Editor and Disk Editor
