But the Celeron is a poor choice of processor, since it has no > cache. You'd be better off with AMD or Cyrix. I'm running a celeron A (mendocino with 128kb sync cache) and it's a real cheap alternative to a PII plus you can teach it SMP with a simple hardware hack. It's great (btw where do I submit my cpuid kernel patch ?) bye pille. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
