I've been running an SMP kernel on a Compaq ProLiant 1600 (dual 450's) since the 3.1 release. Haven't had a problem yet...with the exception of a hardware setup issue with Compaq (you need to set Full-Table Mapped in the system partition). The machine has since been upgraded to 3.2 and has been running two iterations of SETIathome for over a month. I don't know whether it's better than the Linux SMP but it's significantly faster than when the machine had Solaris 7 x86... --Ian ______________________________________________________________ Ian Clendaniel Conectiv Systems Architect Infrastructure Management Int:235-5577 Ext:451-5577 http://www.conectiv.com Pager/Cell:302-750-3574 mailto:clendaniel@conectiv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
