No. Each processor has its own memory controller. A processor may have 1 or more cores. (A processor is a physical package. A core is a complete logic execution unit). All cores in a processor have equivalent access to the processor's memory controller. -Mark Langsdorf AMD, Inc. _______________________________________________ LinuxBIOS mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
