We have three of those combos and they work great. Those were the first boxes I used that could buildworld in under 30min - and at less than $275 for the board with 2 processors. (don't know now) The usual overclocking cautions apply strictly as fbsd will "use" both cpu's heavily. Check current or stable archives for more info (not bp6 specific). Basically, on an otherwise idle SMP system fbsd doesn't loop HLTs like it does without SMP. This exaggerates existing cooling problems for out of spec systems, exposing problems you might not otherwise notice until running gimps or something. I kind of like it. You know what you're working with. -Dave On Tue, 8 Feb 2000, James Holtom wrote: > Does anyone have any current [preferably good] experience using FreeBSD > 3.4 [Stable] on a twin-celeron ABIT BP6 board? > > I seem to recall seeing bad reports about stability and so on, but with > the mailing list archives dead ATM... > > Any info gratefully received... > > Regards, > > James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
