<DIV>>>Now question is Jay, are you talking Fedura Core 1 or Core
2???</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fedora Cora 2 64. I also made a nice little script
I can give you that does all the rpm updating automatically. It also installs a
gcc compiler. After that it compiles lastest Openssl and 32 bit libs. All
done in 15 minutes. Let me know when you need the disk, I can mail you a
set.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>I believe he mentioned this Steve. Not load
balancing, but scheduling as you point out.<BR>The scheduler does not nail the
process to a particular CPU, as is the case<BR>with other versions of
Linux. Support certainly must be there on the processor<BR>however for
SMP.<BR><BR>Lets not forget about things such as tag-cache on chip,
pre-fetch,<BR>and the like. Little good if your tag cache is on processor 0,
and the process is<BR>scheduled back on cpu 1. But then again, I believe this
is built in to the<BR>Hypertransports, based on some architecture
readings<BR>a while back. (memory is 43 y/o now... but I think is
correct).<BR><BR>Recently my ES 3.0 kernel was updated with the preliminary
support for<BR>the upcoming 2.6 kernel which offers this support. I am preying
this<BR>helps.<BR><BR>(BTW, best I could find stock is 248's in a dual AMD
package<BR>at $299/mo w/ 2GB ram hosted. The co-lo option is not
reasonable<BR>for me. If I procure the Tyan board, and
Processor/memory,<BR>the bandwidth is cost prohibitive. I end up paying more
for<BR>the Bandwidth than I do now for the Dual P4 with the
bandwidth.<BR>(Looking at the planet, EV1, ServerBeach, Verio, and the
sub-slime ;-)<BR>But I am so curious anyway, I just ordered a 2x248 and tyan
MB from<BR>newegg.com for my server rack. (It is nice to be santa to
yourself<BR>first. ;-) ) Ironically ServerMatrix does not seem to
offer Fedura<BR>in their offerings. It may be tough to get them to support it
operationally...<BR><BR>Now question is Jay, are you talking Fedura Core 1 or
Core 2???<BR><BR>Thanks for the help. And Thanks for the info Steve. I also
did not find any 448's,<BR>nor 848's, but I could be looking at the wrong
places for the 848's...<BR><BR>Happy Holidays. And thanks for the help
guys.<BR><BR>Mark<BR><BR><BR>At 02:25 PM 12/24/2004, you wrote:<BR>
