Pentium-D support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since this is really a question in several areas I'll put it here. Now that the Pentium-D processors are available at reasonable prices and for quick delivery, can anyone speak to the ACPI issues? The available boards use the 945 and 955 chipset. Is there any reason to think that the scheduler would get confused by the CPU, such as thinking it was HT or some such?

The specs indicate that 64 bit is supported, is there any actualy Linux support for the Intel 64 bit stuff in gcc and the kernel? One of the people I work with reports that the distro he runs on his Athlon64 lock solid after reading the boot sector, so obviously this isn't Athlon compatable.

The price is lower than a dual Xeon setup if you have an application which needs SMP, and initial power values make it look like a lower power solution overall.
