Yes sure, but the problem is that the other machine is currently being used (I have to shut it down, pull-out the card and install it on my machine). So, before doing so, I'd like to make sure that it would be worth the effort. It may not be fast (all right, it will be slow), but the point is simple, I'd like to get an experience on running SMP on Linux :-) > > Depends on the kernel revision - kernels before 2.2 don't support APICs. > This is what my dual Pentium says (running 2.3.45): Mine runs 2.2.13, so it support APIC, right? BTW, how "unstable" is 2.3.45 compared to 2.2.13? Oki
