I personally don't like any 4+0 DIMM configuration motherboard -- unless it is treated as a 1P Opteron 1xy AGP workstation. I.E. the K8T Master-FAR. 4+0 SMP configuration has NUMA performance issues that can't be worked around. Well, the board still has some merit when used as an SMP -- the memory latency across 1-hop is still better than today's Pentium-4 SMP systems. > but I can't get the damn floppy to mount. /dev/fd0 is there, but when I > try to mount it, it says that /mnt/floppy doesn't exist.
