Hi:
I want to build a new PC with FreeBSD, which processor is best for FreeBSD.
Intel builds processors and motherboards, which gave me a feel of good performance between this two elements.
Intel has something called Hyper-Threading Technology, Which turbo charges your PC to respond to today's multitasking lifestyle.
4.7 knows about hyper-threading, insofar as the kernel config file admits an 'HTT' option. As to whether it's better or not to have it, I can't really say. 2.4GHz is so ridiculously fast (kernel compiles in less than two minutes, postfix in less than a minute)... I suspect it will be difficult to detect the difference between with/without in everyday use.
I'm building a new mail relay, and it turns out the machine was specified as RAID-5. I suspect that that is going to have a much more adverse impact on performance than HTT or not.
As to "responding to today's multitasking lifestyle", I sooner see PAE implemented in the kernel, to unlock the memory I have above 4Gb.
David
