Suse 10.2 Dual Core support?

galliar · 01-30-2007, 03:35 PM

Hello,

I just upgraded from an AMD 3500+ processor on a 939 board to an AMD Opteron dual core 175. Does Suse 10.2 support (take advantage of ) the dual core processors?

Regards,

Randy.

Yes. You have to install the SMP kernel (it's on the installation cd).

Use YaST to install it.

The default kernel in suse 10.2 is the smp kernel. So you have support for dual core out of the box

FYI, I just installed OpenSUSE 10.2 (SATA/SMP kernel, the default) on a Dell Inspiron 1501 with dual core AMD Turion - works great - "gnome-system-monitor" shows 2 processors as expected.

dual core support should be kernel related, for sure I know since suse 10 series should already have this. Or anything that utilizes the 2.6 kernel.

Heck, using the 2.6.17 kernel, my Intel Quad core is recognized with 4 CPU's! This is using Ubuntu 6.10, but I'm sure the same would be for SuSE
