I'm wondering what people think of a forward path for the following:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz (2400.14-MHz K8-class CPU) Origin="GenuineIntel" Id=0x206c2 Family=0x6 Model=0x2c Stepping=2 Features=0xbfebfbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CLFLUSH,DTS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,PBE> Features2=0x29ee3ff<SSE3,PCLMULQDQ,DTES64,MON,DS_CPL,VMX,SMX,EST,TM2,SSSE3,CX16,xTPR,PDCM,PCID,DCA,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,POPCNT,AESNI> AMD Features=0x2c100800<SYSCALL,NX,Page1GB,RDTSCP,LM> AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF> VT-x: PAT,HLT,MTF,PAUSE,EPT,UG,VPID TSC: P-state invariant, performance statistics real memory = 25773998080 (24580 MB) avail memory = 24915828736 (23761 MB) Event timer "LAPIC" quality 600 ACPI APIC Table: <111612 APIC1749> FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 16 CPUs FreeBSD/SMP: 2 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 hardware threads The system board is a Supermicro and has embedded IPMI (which I require for remote admin purposes) on a separate interface. It's plenty fast but very power-hungry. I'm interested in other's experience with various system board options, and processors, that will return /better /performance and which have a good history running FreeBSD /but with lower power consumption. /Any suggestions welcome. -- Karl Denninger k...@denninger.net <mailto:k...@denninger.net> /The Market Ticker/ /[S/MIME encrypted email preferred]/
