Hi Nathan, May I ask what is the purpose of the original question ?
Do I understand correctly that you want to mix a single and a double CPU, perhaps even a quad or 8-way Opteron CPU in the same system ? Do you understand that f.e. the 2 way CPUs have an extra "Bus" between them to speed up communication and share memory to the other CPU. In 4 and 8-way CPUs you will find 3 of those extra "Buses". These means f.e. that in a 4-way setup you can share the memory between those CPUs, processes etc. according to your needs. I believe that mixing up different CPU types and /or speeds is basically like putting for different wheels on your car and see how far you can go with them ;-). Does that make things clearer ? I am not sure yet if your background is to make "a one size fits all computer" or you just have nothing to do. Anyway, either way good luck ;-) Best regards Nils Valentin Paolo Alexis Falcone wrote: > >>On 7/23/05, Nathan Dragun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >>>Has anyone tried mixing the processor types of multi-cpu systems?
