I just upgraded my Gentoo server from an old Celeron 1Ghz to a Pentium4 3Ghz (hyperthreaded). In /etc/make.conf I have:
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse" MAKEOPTS="-j3" I compiled the new kernel and added some SMP stuff I saw: daevid ~ # uname -a Linux daevid.com 2.6.19-gentoo-r5 #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 26 13:50:25 PDT 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux But when I'm in KDE, the little load applet doesn't show two CPUs (should it?). So how can I tell that it's being used, and what "tool" will show me both CPUs and their loads n stuff (like WinXP does in taskmgr -- this used to be an XP box BTW. I "upgraded" it ;-) daevid ~ # x86info x86info v1.20. Dave Jones 2001-2006 Feedback to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
