Hello, SMP in FreeBSD depends strongly on the CPU/Chipset functionalities : it only works with genuine Intel processors and supports 2 processors with standard P-II/P-III and 4 processors with Xeon procs. If your six-P-Pro uses an exotic chipset, you may be out of luck. TfH Kris Kedzierski wrote: > > Hey > I know FBSD supports SMP, but is there a limit as to how many processors it > can scale up to?
