Well, 'for once' :) > I found a Pentium 4 with 400 Mhz FSB, it looks much better now: > FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #6: Sun Oct 11 11:14:33 CEST 2009 > r...@kg-work2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SX270 > Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 > CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz (1992.63-MHz 686-class CPU) > Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0xf27 Stepping = 7 > > Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> > Features2=0x4400<CNXT-ID,xTPR> > real memory = 2145849344 (2046 MB) > > and FreeBSD 8.0 doesn't say anything about "non-unform cpu" anymore. ;^) Great. Your 2GHz P4 is a later stepping which has HTT also, ours is: CPU0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00GHz stepping 04 Total of 1 processors activated (4003.47 BogoMIPS). as Debian dmesg tells it. But I still don't know whether it's nowadays safe and/or advantageous running hyperthreading on these CPUs in FreeBSD? Anyone? cheers, Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
