It's probably too soon to make any judgements about the performance of Intel's "Pentium II" stuff. >Do you think, that AMD's soon coming K6 would be a good choice, since >it allows insertion into a ZIF 7 socket... This might be a reasonable way to go as long as you don't need SMP. >What do you think, will FreeBSD / gcc support the new CPU without >problems ? Any clues ? Should I wait for the K6 or buy a PPro >based board now ? We'll have to wait and see, but I suspect that it will work just fine. The price of P6's has come down so much that I don't see any reason to delay. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
