Hi :) Does anybody know whether Intel's Woodcrest processors will be supported? It's a dual core Xeon processor. Would it be a x86-64? Any glitches, gotchas, advice regarding: kernel, glibc, gcc, ...? TIA Rafa -- 50% of all statistics are inaccurate. OpenWengo: rgriman

I'm sure there are NOT ANY dualcore Xeon specific modifications. SUSE-10.0 is older than those CPUs. ;-)) BTW: SLES9-SP3 was working too. I had tested that before. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
