How do i Compile the > system with*OUT* i386? so it will use both compilers? How are you running dual AMD chips? From my understanding of SMP, the chip itself has to be made to run in a dual processor environment. Until AMD makes a major design change, you can't use them that way. Either way, if you've got 3.0 running, it'll work with dual processors. BTW... I know for sure that you don't want to remove i386... it's slightly important. Now... if any one DOES have dual AMDs actually working, please tell me as I've got a Dual board sitting around with only one CPU! :) Rick ---- "Religion exists because man can't belive that he's nothing more then a random accident." http://www.dsinw.com/~hamellr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
