Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am planning on buying a dual proccessor pentium, and I was just curious as to the way the caching is done. I recently noticed the lmbench summary on this list that has the XXpress as having 2 seperate caches, while all others Ive seen have a single cache. So on the single cache boards.. are they split logically? Well, I dont have too much money, so I'll probably end up going with the Tyan tomcat II.. unless someone would like to point out that it doesnt work at all. ;) Laters, chris
