Hi, I am wondering if I should run x86 an an athlon 64. I am upgrading my win box to athlon x2 4600 and I'll use the old athlon 64 for gentoo. Does using x86 make the 64 athlon act as 2 processors (what config is needed) If it will act like 2 processors is that faster or slower than using the 64 setup?
Running 64 or 32 bit kernel and/or userland has absolutely nothing to do with enabling smp support in the kernel, which seems to be what you meant. Cheers, Friedrich Göpel -- [email protected] mailing list
