Solaris performs horribly with an overclocked processor. > It freezes every other second and gives error messages on boot. Slowaris wasn't meant to be a performance system and probably chokes when it runs at speeds above 400Mhz. > How is FreeBSD when it comes to an overclocked processor? Is it more > stable? I have yet to hear of a report of an overclocked x86 system not working with FreeBSD (if you don't overheat your system that is). Seriously, it should work. If you have any problems (feeling gutsy), you can contact me personally about any issues you may have. -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
