I'm not looking forward to > telling someone to look though the archives for "Most Beautiful Baby > Contest" when they come looking for 8-proc motherboards :) Are you kidding? If I had an 8-proc system sitting around, it'd certainly be *MY* Most Beautiful Baby! OTOH, *ARE* there any officially-supported 8-way setups on Intel hardware? Do any non-custom chips[sets] really even support better than 4-way? I have a 6-way PPro motherboard gathering dust in a box at home, but I believe it was a fairly custom (if large-quantity) job. Mmm. I have a sudden desire to run the world's first 32-processor P-66 system. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
