Oh, one more thing.. Why would I need XEON processors? The only differenced between those and other PIII's is the full speed cache (and more of it usually), right? *shrug* not really sure. The motherboards say they support PIII/XEON, so I was wondering what your logic was behind what you said. As far as the database using all 4 processors, any threaded program *could* use them, couldn't they? *shrug* I'm a total newbie with multi-processor systems, I've never had anything big enough to need one so some of what I said could be totaly wrong.. Please, feel free to school me :-) -Mitch ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Phillips <chris@selkie.org> To: Mitch Vincent <mitch@venux.net> Cc: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2000 4:28 PM Subject: Re: FreeBSD SMP > You will need 4 Xeon processors to do the 4 way SMP.
