Hi everybody,
I experiment something strange, maybe not SMP related, please excuse me if I'm
off-topic...
I bought a Micronics Helios SMP dual PII/PIII mb at a good price to replace my
DK440LX.
I just exchanged the two MB, kept same CPUs and same memory. ( waiting for
PIIIs )
I use it with Seti@home to have it do something when I'm not here.
With the DK440LX, I computed a work unit in around 15 hours.
With the Helios one, it's around 23 hours a work unit.
Is it at all possible some initialisations are not done on the cpus by the MB
at
boot ( cache enabling or something the like ) which may explain that
phenomenon ?
For all I can say, /proc/cpuinfo looks normal :
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 5
model name : Pentium II (Deschutes)
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 330.880074
