------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, 21 May 1998 13:50:36 -0400 To: current@freebsd.org From: Garance A Drosihn <drosih@rpi.edu> Subject: Re: SMP, Intel PR440FX, cpu monitoring, etc Sender: owner-freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Okay. For those who can't seem to find the machine I'm talking about at insight, the URL is: http://www.insight.com/cgi-bin/bp/1480860161/web/technote.html?a=f&f=p&d=TODT10 2 6U More details on the machine are at: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Home.woa/-/Product.wo?component=K e yFeatures&partNumber=PV1026U-01A&from=Business although that doesn't mention that the machine uses the PR440FX motherboard (and the deal from insight does not include any monitor). I just ordered a second one of these $800 boxes yesterday, and I think they still have a thousand left in stock (that's with just the single PPro, of course, for SMP you'd have to buy another processor). I imagine it is to my advantage to have many many of these sold to freebsd folks, as it will increase the number of people interested in freebsd support for them :-) - - - But I really was interested in whether there's anything I need to watch out for when buying the second processor, in case I want to try for SMP in the fall, and whether there's a way to read the temperature sensors inside the box while freebsd is running. If not, would it be hard to add that, and where would I start looking for details on how those sensors work from a programming standpoint? (hmm, maybe intel's web site would have something...). - --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message ------- End of Forwarded Message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
