Hi all,

I looking for SMT capability in freeBSD...... And found the following extract in a document... saying that 4.3 BSD has no support for SMT..... does the current/latest version of freeBSCD (5.2 or 6.0) has the support for SMT ??????

>>It (4.3 BSD) has no support for processor affinity or binding. It also has no mechanism for distinguishing between CPUs of varying capability, which is important for SMT (Symmetric Multi-Threading).
Thanks in advance.......
Dennis
