http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EM64T "Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) is Intel's implementation of AMD64, a 64-bit extension to the IA-32 architecture." The latest Xeons use AMD extensions to get 64 bits. So you tell FreeBSD you have an AMD chip. Check /var/run/dmesg.boot to see what it thinks it is. For example, my desktop Intel dual core 64 bit Pentium says it's a K8 class CPU, K8 being the AMD name for the Opteron architecture. --- Roman Lyashenko <roman787@ukrintell.com.ua> wrote: > >On 9/9/06, Roman Lyashenko < > <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware>; > roman787 at > ukrintell.com.ua> wrote: > >> Hello all, > >> > >> > >> > >> Does anybody know if FreeBSD supports new Intel > 64-bit dual-core > XEON > >> 5050 or maybe going to support in the future? > >> > > > >As Mike said, just a new CPU, which, by the way, is > seen as 4 CPUs, > >because of its dual core and hyper-threading > technology, as far as I > >understand. > > > > > <http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/products/server/pr > ocessors/5000/feature/index.htm> > http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/products/server/pro > cessors/5000/feature/index.htm > > > > Yes, it's true.
