Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi... I'm going back to University in the spring, and wish to get together a nice system *before* I become a starving student again :) I'm interested in playing around with the SMP side of FreeBSD, since what I've read on the mail list seems to indicate that its relatively stable, altho still developing... I still haven't looked into costs yet, but would I be better going with a P6 vs a Dual-P5? Does anyone have any recommendations on which motherboard for either I should be looking at? make/model? cache? On a costs note...which would I get more 'bang-for-my-buck' from? Thanks... Marc G.
