Some questions related to 4.0
Hello everybody, I`ve some questions related to the upcomming 4.0 Release. I`ve read that SpeedStep was deactivated for SMP. Could somebody explain me why this was done? I`ve read some AMD announcements and they`ll produce (this year maybe even) a 4 Core CPU. And as advantage they`ve pointed out that Cores could get deactivated or run with different Speeds to save Energy. This would be in fact an advantage and will appear even for home-users some day I think. Something else: cdio(1) can now perform track-at-once burning and rewritable blanking. Is it planed to create a own CD Burn application on OpenBSD? I`ve read a lot peoples do have problems with cdrtools (lets name it Debian and others) and even forked cdrtools. But except of this cdio provides a lot functionality already and now burning support was added too that`s why I ask. OpenBSD does not support a large amount of memory, as far as I know. Link: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2004-11/2964.html I didn`t found somethign wich mentions this on the plus.html So: Is that fixed now? I`ve 2GB RAM and would like to buy some more (AMD64). Last but not least: Has Henning something in the backhand? He owns openhttpd.org for some months now.. :) Kind regards, Sebastian

This has been discussed already, I believe in the last week.

Yes, this should work. > Last but not least: > Has Henning something in the backhand? > He owns openhttpd.org for some months now.. :) People are making all sorts of speculations, but I am not aware of the answer. Nothing happens on the CVS list, though, and presumably Henning is busy enough already. Joachim

You will note he hasn't set up a website, started a competition for a logo, or set up mailing lists yet. Obviously, he's not very serious about this. :) Nick.

Well I`m sorry I`ve read the manpage (and updated to a 4.0 snapshot btw) and you4re right. Even it doesn`t look like all the other stuff in OpenBSD.. it looks like a audioplayer with a added burning-function wich reminds me to the emacs-concept... -> OpenBSD does not support a large amount of memory, as far as I know. -> Link: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2004-11/2964.html - -This has recently changed. -> I didn`t found somethign wich mentions this on the plus.html -> So: Is that fixed now? I`ve 2GB RAM and would like to buy some more (AMD64). - -Yes, this should work. During an Answer at undeadly somebody told me it does NOT work. http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20060901015409&mode=expanded Could somebody maybe verify this? And why is it such a issue to deal with more memory (specialy on AMD64 wich should have less limitations then i386?!). Kind regards, Sebastian
