Hi, > While we are on the subject of CPUs... Can you do SMP with the Cyrix 6x86 > chips? You can't do FreeBSD SMP with them. We follow the Intel MP spec, which they nicely tied to propietary Intel silicon. Specifically this means the APIC we've been talking so much about lately. AMD/Cyrix have a competing standard called "Open Apic", but I know of no boards using it at present. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
