I doubt (without trying) the freebsd code supports this style as it's not done in the normal fashion. They kind of cheated the chips into working together. Not a great system. Either get a twin PII, or wait for the K7's (but that won't be cheap). -----Original Message----- From: Maxim Sobolev To: Chan Yiu Wah Cc: freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Friday, February 19, 1999 4:34 AM Subject: Re: AMD K6-2 for smp >As far as I know, AMD K6-2 doesn't support miltiprocessing systems (it's planned >that K7 will support it) - contact AMD to know exactly. >> >> I am planning to setup my SMP system and want to know if some can share >> his/her experience with me.
