Not sure in general, but I have an X2 which says the following in /var/run/dmesg.boot: FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Feb 11 17:12:37 EST 2006 root@duncan.reilly.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DUNCAN ACPI APIC Table: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ (2211.34-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x20fb1 Stepping = 1 Features=0x178bfbff Features2=0x1 AMD Features=0xe2500800,LM,3DNow+,3DNow> I'm running with /boot/loader.conf containing: kern.smp.disabled="1" because that's the only way that the 4front-tech OSS sound card driver for my m-audio delta 1010 will load. (If I have both CPUs going then it is unable to allocate a contiguous chunk of 30k-ish RAM, 64k-aligned, by the time it gets going, in /etc/rc.local.) Dunno if that sysctl would change the way the CPU is reported, though. I'm happy to help answer any questions, because there's a few other pieces of my shiny new GA-K8N9 motherboard that don't work properly too. (nve0 times out a lot and the system freezes up for a second or two whenever it does. I'm hoping that recent comments about interrupt routing fixes will mean that this'll get better soon.) GA-K8N9 is an nForce 4 based board. I only have 1G of RAM at the moment, so I'm not seeing this problem. Cheers, -- Andrew
