Harris" X-X-Sender: To: Linux Kernel mailing list Subject: [Semi-OT] Dual Athlon support in kernel Message-ID: X-Unexpected-Header: The Spanish Inquisition X-Spam-To: uce@ftc.gov Copyright: Copyright 2001 by Mike A. Harris - All rights reserved MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Would the current state of athlon support be considered stable? I've got a colleague interested in getting a dual athlon box, and I'll be making the decision as to what hardware to purchase. I'm wondering is dual Athlon viable for a business solution right now, or is it considered "experimental"? What hardware would be recommended for a dual CPU system that needs to be fairly rock solid? Should I recommend to stay with the P-III Xeon? Or something else? What issues would I expect to have to deal with if going with a dual Athlon? Also, what is a good rock solid SCSI RAID controller? Money is no object. Reliability, performance and Linux compatibility are though. Chipsets to avoid? Any experiences/info good/bad would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
