Ok I have some details... The EX8200 RE is a Freescale e500v2 MPC8548 1.2GHz single core cpu, the MX80 RE uses an MPC8572 1.3GHz which is a dual core cpu. Note that this has no relationship to the old MX base level RE-1300, which was an Intel Celeron 1.3GHz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerQUICC#PowerQUICC_III It looks like they're only using a single core currently, but color me hopeful that they'll enable the second core in a future software release (my guess is they don't have their ppc code fully supported or tested for SMP yet). When 10.2 came out I remember seeing a mention somewhere in the release notes about support for upcoming dual and quad core RE's (classic Intel it looked like), but I can't seem to find the reference now, so maybe they removed it. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <r...@e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
