Hi,

I'm getting a new SuperMicro 5015M-NTB this week with a Xeon 3050 (basically a 
C2D 6400) and I'm preparing my amd64 KERNCONF file. Looking at the CPU 
option, it is set in GENERIC as being HAMMER. 

Looking in NOTES, I find :
cpu             HAMMER                  # aka K8, aka Opteron & Athlon64

So, are the Conroe/Allendale batch of cpus HAMMER-class?

(PS, I'm not anti-AMD or anything, in fact, all of my computers/servers/laptop 
are AMD powered. For this situation, the Xeon had the perf/$ and perf/W 
advantage...)

Thanks,
Nicolas.
