I have also seen one other report from a webpage of a Tiger MP working fine with FreeBSD and a slower set of XP cpu's. I have the 1.02 bios revision, and a 1.03 is available but I dont feel the need to use it. My system is rock solid in FreeBSD, I have not had a single stability issue yet.

I checked bug reports regarding Freebsd and SMP and saw an open problem. The hardware that I'm thinking about going to will be using a Tyan Tiger mother board with dual AMD Athlon MP CPUs. The experience with FreeBSD 4.x and Tyan boards is that SMP seems to be broke. Has the problem been solved or will it be an episode found on Unsolved Mysteries?
