That is only a stop gap then. I don't see this being generally true in the future. e.g. Intel announced SMT will be soon back so even a standard dual core would exceed it with current southbridges. Also I'm not sure but I suspect non Intel HPETs have less than three timers. Certainly they generally miss the 64bitness. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
