...#39;t a great benchmark for a box since its 100% cpu and > neglects memory or disk performance but I had the numbers handy > for that :-) BTW, it is 100% ALU and a major strain on the ALU LOAD. In other words, it's not a good benchmark for even CPU. That's why the 3-issue ALU in the Nx586 on-ward blows the 2-issue ALU in PPro on-ward (especially the P4) to crap. But that's all besides the point because it has _0_ to do with server performance period, even computationally intensive. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org

While I know that, technically, the only i586 machines are the Pentium and Pentium MMX, it is still nice that I can use some headless AMD K6/2 machines I have lying around for CentOS 4. Many thanks for the effort expended to get that working. -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

...st superscalar design. But at the same time, NexGen was able to pull off an even better, superscalar ALU, and much of Intel's "design assistance" came indirectly from joining Digital on the Alpha chip briefly. i486 ISA Compatible Architectures - AMD: 486, 586, K5 (both original and Nx586+FPU), SCLan - Cyrix: 5x86, 6x86, M1 - IDT/Centaur: WinChip (just the original?) - SGS-Thompson: Nearly all cores (except very latest) i686 ISA Compatible Architectures - AMD: K6, Athlon, Athlon64/Opteron - Cyrix/NS: M2, Geode - IDT/Centaur: WinChip2+ (or WinChip4+?) - SGS-Thompson: Latest c...

I've updated CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 on several machines (some desktops, some servers). However on my laptop, update is failing with following error just after headers are downloaded: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 for package: glibc --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 is needed by package

...argely hacks in the P4/HT), but goes directly to the concept of virtualizing cores.
