I'm about to build a new box, and thought I'd ask first if there's any
experience with AMD's dual core processors (AM2 or s939). From what I've
read both socket types work as amd64, with bsd and bsd.mp, right?
Any thoughts on which works more stable and faster, i386 vs amd64 arch, and
the benefits of using bsd.mp? What chipsets/MoBos work well?
So mainly I'm interested in comments from people who have tested these, to
see if it's worth the trouble (money) to get dual core for openbsd, is
there
much of an improvement, etc.
I tried 3.9 on a Sun Fire X2100 with a dual core Opteron 146 a while ago,
but OpenBSD only worked every other boot. On some boots, it would just
crash and on the next boot it would do a fsck and then crash and one more
reboot later, it would come up with a corrupt boot sector. :/

here it is working fine on sunfire X2100, but it's only one processor
machines, but working fine and fast with amd64 and 4.0
