This was the argument I raised in my original mail. However, it looks
pretty ugly on paper:
It is quite possible that you will have problems installing
FreeBSD on your high-end machine, but you'll have great
benchmarks once you do.
;-)
Anyway, I'm loath for this to turn into an unproductive flame war, so
I won't try to argue an opinion I've already put forward. Instead, I
ask whether there's any other solution you can think of, since we're
likely to see more and more people having problems related to failed
speculative memory probes as >64MB machines become entry-level.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
