I would like t\o hear the rational for the Opterons (presumably the dual core ones) not being SMP. They have two independent operating cores in one physical package. Who cares how it is packaged? I would tend to agree with you on the ht-Xeon in terms of general descriptions. I do not know as well how the ht-xeon work as I don't use any but it seems to me that the "SMP" moniker, at least in FreeBSD, relate to how things are scheduled. Btw, Opteron MB with a single dual-core ship get a BIOS report on Boot of having 2 CPUs... Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
