You'll want to use amd64, it's stable. Even before there was a stable version, I've been running it on a server with dual Opterons and have never had a problem with it. Besides, I have an E8400, and that CPU seems to be particularly slow in 32bit mode and when running a piece of 32bit software in the amd64 environment. I am somewhat disappointed with the performance, even overclocked to 3.46GHz. Did you use any weird kernel settings when you made the kernel for your server? Did you try an older (like 2.6.24) or a newer kernel? I think you should see only 2 CPUs, as you have 2. But I had always set the max. number of CPUs to 2 for my kernels, so I wouldn't see any more than 2 anyway. Maybe I should increase the limit and see what happens. Maybe I get some CPUs for free ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
