Hello all, I have been building/using servers that were dual CPU AMD Opteron systems for some time. (usually 246 Opteron cpu's) Now of course the world is shifting to Dual Core. Using FreeBSD, what is really the difference, besides power and ability to shove in more memory, between having the two seperate CPUS's? What if I did 2, Dual Core cpu's? Would the SMP overhead and sharing to a [Giant Locked] disk and or network erase any benefits? Thanks! Nicole The Large Print Giveth And The Small Print Taketh Away -- Anon
