Hello,
I would like to know if FreeBSD 6.0 supports dual-core CPU chips. Note, dual-core is different from dual CPU.
On Jun. 13, 2005 PT Wired magazine explained a dual-core CPU as the following in a article titled "The New Chips on the Block"
"A dual-core processor differs from a single-core chip in that it has two physical computer processing unit, or CPU, cores on a 
single die."
