[NMLUG] Using SMP kernel with single CPU?
I've setteled on the Intel branded model for the xeon's and I've been using
tyan for the amd chips. I've had some trouble with a few tyan tiger's but I'm
probably gonna try them again when I build an opteron system. Kevin recently
built an opteron system with a tyan mb (I think).
