[ don't forget there is a freebsd-smp list ] According to Alfred Perlstein: > I have a couple of questions about SMP, what boards do i have to watch > out for, not working? will the SMP kernel work with cyrix/AMD chips? See <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html>; for details. It won't work on Cyrix/AMD processors because they don't use the same APIC as Intel. There is a document about OpenPIC for these processors but only the AMD 640 chipset implement it (to my knowledge). For now, SMP == Intel. > is it worth it? The thing is I just read that dual pentiums are nothing > compared to dual pentium pros, is this true (especially running at 150mhz) You should be able to run your P150 at 2.5x 66 MHz (== 166 MHz) without problem. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: There are no limits -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #23: Sun Jul 20 18:10:34 CEST 1997
