Hello List, Hello Milan, I just subscribed to this list after I installed OpenSolaris on my Athlon X2 powered server at home. The issue here is powernowd.
In a message I found in the "PowerNow AMD Athlon64 X2 (dual core)" Milan Jurick stated: "If you motherboard supports Barcelona based AMD, then change to that CPU." URL: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/laptop-discuss/2008-June/010647.html I just migrated from FreeBSD to OpenSolaris because of the features Solaris offers. But since the server is located at home, saving power is an issue. What I don't understand is what one would gain by replacing the CPU with a Barcelona based one? I'm just asking because changing the CPU might really be an option here, as long as there really is some power saving so that the additional costs are covered eventually. Regards Christian Walther
