Hi, > Does the SMP kernal in FreeBSD support systems with multiple 386's or 486's? > I see a lot of talk about P5's and P6's but I have known about multi-processor > systems using intel chips for a number of years, using 386's and 486's. no, 386/486 chips just can't do this sort of thing *efficiently*, the P5/P6 were designed to do SMP. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, just that it doesn't appear worth the effort to those involved... -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
