People checking out URL's might also want to look at: http://www.edtn.com/news/june26/062698tnews1.html which is a news article about a bug in the Xeon. They (Intel) aren't specific about what the bug was, but apparently it only effects the use of Xeon in "servers", but not "workstations". They also have a microcode fix which they are testing. The upshot of all this is that "server configurations" based on the Xeon may be delayed by a few weeks. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
