I've got a couple of dell 8 cpu boxes here running FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and am interested in peoples thoughts on the best kernel configs for this type of machine. I'm interested in the best way of making use of 8 cpu's and also seeing the whole 8GB of RAM. Cheers, -- Mark Sergeant SNSOnline Technical Services
