On Wednesday 18 May 2005 14:03, the author Dwayne MacKinnon contributed to the dialogue on PCI-X on FreeBSD vs. PCI-X on Linux: & Hello, & & My company is currently comparing FreeBSD to Linux: specifically FreeBSD & 4.11-RELEASE to Fedora Core 3. & & We're having a difficult time determining whether or not FreeBSD is utilizing & the higher speeds of the PCI-X bus. My understanding is that it does. The other thing I find interesting is that in my experience most "Linux" applications run faster on freebsd using linux emulation that they do on linux! I think this may have something to do with differences in kernel overhead.. but you may need to speak to someone with greater technical knowlege than I for an explanation. David & & Can anyone specifically state the status of PCI-X support in FreeBSD? The & state of support in 5.X is fine too. This is a major issue as we determine & which platform to move forward on. & & Note that I do mean PCI-X. I'm aware that PCI-Express is on Scott Long's & wish-list of things to get implemented. & & Cheers, & DMK & & P.S. - Please cc me on all replies. & _______________________________________________ & freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list & http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions & To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" & -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
