load, and the only difference between the two configs is drive sizes (Dual-PIII has 36G Seagate Drives, the Dual-Xeon has 73G ones) and the CPUs ... even the operating system is within days of each other, so either I hit a bad 'cvsup day' for the Dual-Xeon, or I'm missing something as far

Hi! I just recently switched to FreeBSD on my primary computer, an Intel Pentium 4 Prescott rig, and I'm loving it. I came from Gentoo Linux, and, if at all possible, I never want to go back. Just a few days ago I set up a dual Intel Xeon Nocona system on the Tyan i7520 (S5360) motherboard.
