greetings all, i was wondering if i could get some answers to a question thats been naging me for a while. i am about to build a 2 processor freebsd host. it is a supermicro motherbard some 4 or 5 years old in design and a pair of intel pentium pro (180 mhz kind) that i've gotten from a couple of old p6 hosts that were "retired" because they could not keep up the pace with the new microsoft windows incarnation, hence i got the leftovers. my question is will smp mmode wotk with similar but not identical type microprocessors --- in this case pentium pro, 180 mhz, same l2 cache same every thing i think but .. perhaps different step ??? i remember that the step had to be the same or freebsd would really bomb badly. please what is teh requirements to be running smp on intel hardware these days ?? with much kind regards and thanks much gratitude jonathan -- ================================================================ powered by ..
