For sure, but not me :) > Do they run well on Gentoo? Gentoo is Linux, and Linux has had SMP support for donkeys years. I do have 2 dual Xeon boxes at work, unfortunantly the company distro of choice is Suse. Luckily this choice is only for web platform boxes I don't admin (which the dual xeons are), the firewalls, mailservers, and other office bound servers are mine so run gentoo as I get time to reinstall them. Getting back to the point, the dual Xeons perform nicely and due to HT the OS sees 4 CPU's. > Right now, my system is > a dual Pentium-III 933MHz rig, so everything on my system has been built > with -march=pentium3.

Nope, just add SMP (and whatever other new hardware) support, and you are good to go. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAHYiWInuLMrk7bIwRAofjAKCMP4ZwZN1ZGvsCk7ex32MAVUhrCgCffFl2 bCgp6xhpFdEuVbx0ZQJxASc= =G2er -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
