Actually, both were 1.4GHz cpus, but one was a production cpu with a multiplier lock, and the other was a beta cpu with no lock. And the bios on this particular server gave no way to set the multiplier on unlocked cpus. No, I won't mention the high profile manufacturer of this particular server. It isn't hard to guess though given who I work for. :-) Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
