Hi, Well, the answer is both yes and no :) If you have compiled a kernel, which supports multiple processors: options SMP or you have copied most of /sys/<hardware>/conf/SMP the processor will be discovered and used without any additional configurations. If you currently use all 4GB RAM - PAE config or amd64 or simmilar branch - the extra RAM will be used without any reconfiguration.
If any or both of the above are not true - you have to change the options in the kernel configuration file and recompile the kernel. Hope this will help you :) Regards, Ivailo Tanusheff Deputy Head of IT Department ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) AD "Amitabh Kant" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 23.10.2008 06:52 To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc Subject does hardware upgrade requires reconfiguration? Hi I currently have a single processor/4gb ram machine with me which I am thinking to upgrade to dual proc and 8gb ram. Does installing extra processor requires re-configuration or re-installation of the os? The extra processor will be mounted on the same motherboard.
