Many weird freeze ups that I've seen on dual processor machines are due to bad cooling. (The processors run hotter in SMP mode 'cos FreeBSD doen't use the "hlt" instruction to reduce power consumption in SMP mode). > I know the AMD 'MP' processors are fairly new, has the SMP support in > FreeBSD been designed to support this family of processors?
