I now have an ALR Revolution Q-SMP 133Mb/2Mb L2 cache (you can check out
the specs at)
http://www.hpsinc.com/bluegrass/ALRqsmppci.html and ALR (now Gateway)
http://alr.com/service/support/alrlegacy.htm
This is a 4 processor SMP server with currently 1 processor This is a
motherboard/4-daughterboard combo and not standard Intel chipset (to my
knowledge). It's a Socket 5 CPU footprint.
I want to add an AMD K6-III CPU with a PowerLeap PL-ProMMX adaptor.
http://www.powerleap.com/PL_K6_III.htm
Eventually I would add more processors as I get some money and use Linux.
(The unit is not new) Does someone know if the K6-III/PL-ProMMX combo
will work in a 4 CPU SMP system
Do AMD CPUs (300-400 Mhz range) work well in an SMP system?
Can you use more than 2 AMD CPUs in SMP?
ALR has not tested these units and don't want to say yes or no for an
upgrade.
If anyone has experience with this computer, especially using Linux,
please let me know, I think I got more than I bargained for!
I could use all the help I can get.
Thanks,
Charles.
