Well, like I said above...I tried to enable SMP in my kernel and used Xorg's "nv" video driver instead of the native FreeBSD NVidia driver in the ports...everything works fine now...my systems detects 2 logical CPU's (by the way, I need to admit this first, I still could not comprehend what Hyperthreading is...I only wanted to enable it because I bought an Intel CPU that supports it...maybe I will devote some more time on reading Intel's HP on HTT). I said everything works fine, but I seem to notice that my CPU fan is having a hard time...I am not that worried yet but maybe I will try to search google and the archives on SMP's connection with the CPU fan... That's it thanks for the help/advice/hints... Srot BULL
