I'm selecting components for a workstation machine and I would like some in= put. I'm planning to use an AMD processor (Athlon or Duron) and a Tyan motherboa= rd. I have had good luck with my Athlon and Tyan board in my curent mach= ine. Question #1: Does an SMP configuration benefit a workstation machine's perf= ormance enough to justify the costs? e.g. two of the Athlon MP chips in = a Tyan multi processor board. Question #2:I remember seeing a couple of items asking about experiences wi= th the Athlon in an SMP configuration. The Questions mailing list archiv= e does not seem to be available so I cannot search it. What are the expe= riences with the Athlon MP systems? TIA for any insights. Cheers... Try not. Do or do not. There is no try. -- Yoda To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
