I have a fairly new install of 6.4, done over the 'net, on this old Micron full tower dual PPro-180. The SMP kernel was automagically installed: # uname -a FreeBSD poobah.legomenon.org 6.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Nov 26 12:11:16 UTC 2008 root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 Performance was *rather* sluggish so I tried to ascertain if both processors were running: # dmesg | grep cpu cpu0 on motherboard Q1. Is there a better way to establish how many processors are running? Q2. Do I need to specify, say in rc.conf, that I *want* SMP to be enabled? Best regards, -- Duane
