I'm not sure how far along it is (ie. I know Terry had it up on 2 CPUs...not sure about more then that). I've also heard that someone at Intel is working with Terry on this...but that is unsubstiated, in that I believe Terry mentioned it once, but I could be misquoting. Also, I *believe* you have to be running one of the older -current kernels for the patches to work. Marc G.
