Will the instance of the apps go to each core in a balanced way? From the previous posts, I gather that the amd chip is really good. I must say that I love the intel drivers for the network and sata. If=20 only amd has some chip sets for their own cpus and good open source=20 drivers for their chip sets. Intel has that covered and I think the=20 intel drivers are open source. Please correct me if I am wrong. P.V.Anthony --=20 gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
