mikejr Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 (edited) When setting up Mandrake, does anything special need to be done to support either hyper-threading or dual processors. When I look at system load, I see CPU usage. In Windows there are usually two or four panes of CPU usage, one for each processor, and another for each virtual if HT is turned on. What setting if any do I need to chage to support both processors, as well as their virtual counterparts? Also: is there a RAM limit? I only show just over 3GB, but 4Gb is installed...

mtweidmann Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Not sure about Hyperthreading, but dual CPUs and large aounts of RAM are both supported. To get them to work you have to use a kernel with those options correct options compiled in, for Mandrake this is the Enterprise kernel. I think from memory you have to boot from CD2 rather than CD1 to be given the option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
