Well, I've not triied it under amd64, but i386 SMP has been rock stable for me since I upgraded to 5.X, on both nyperthreaded machines and genuine SMP machines. Choosing one or two cores is, however, more a matter of what the box is going to be doing - if you are usually running one big compute job then a single faster core is better than two smaller ones. > So, is SMP in -STABLE ready for primetime?

Yes and yes. -pcf. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
