OK. My main system has both kernel-deskop and nvidea-gfxG02-kmp-desktop loaded, which is fine since it's a single CPU 64 bit system. However, my notebook has a dual core hyper-threaded CPU, but also has kernel-desktop. I suppose I should change it to default, which supports multiple CPUs. My Netfinity server has two separate CPUs and it has the default kernel.
kernel-desktop also supports multiple CPUs. The main difference between - desktop and -default is the frequency of the kernel (HZ). In the -desktop kernel it is 1000, which is supposed to give you a better desktop performance with lower latency for events like mouse clicks, while the -default kernel has 250 which is meant to give you better I/O throughput and in general better performance for longer running processes Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
