On Thu, Jun 02, 2005 at 09:31:05PM -0500 I heard the voice of Josh Paetzel, and lo! it spake thus: > > I have an intel PR440FX dual socket 8 motherboard here populated > with 2x 200mhz 512K cache Pentium Pro CPUs and 320 megs of RAM.

I've got one sitting beside me running my workstation, like it has for the last 6+ years: MPTable: <INTEL PR440FX > Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 CPU: Pentium Pro (198.67-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x617 Stepping = 7 Features=0xfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV> real memory = 268435456 (256 MB) avail memory = 253014016 (241 MB) FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 12 It's consistently worked very well. Oh, sure, it's maybe just a little less snappy than some of these newer systems, but hey... > I'd like to find a home for it (preferably for a developer to use to > work on SMP) Ooh, you should find somebody in the Mozilla project to give it to. Stick all THEM on PPros, and maybe I'd have a webbrowser that worked faster than stone tablets ;p -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
