Hi,
I didn't want to revisit this thread again (sorry!). But
coincidentally, this interesting story just broke on Slashdot:
Story: Windows and Linux Not Well Prepared For Multicore Chips

No. BeOS was developed by Be Inc in early 90s. They operated from
California till it was dissolved in 2001. The name Be is not related
to Berkeley and has an interesting story behind it. The story is
available on wikipedia page on Be Inc.

Hypertransport... hmmm.. interesting! Seems it is an open standard.
ശ്യാം ചേട്ടാ, thanks for the info on FSB replacements. That one goes
into my collection of open specs ;).

Nice info Gokul.. I had read in a very old edition of PCQuest about this
'multiple videos without jerking' with BeOS.
And regarding processor bus, there's AMD's HyperTransport and Intel's
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI - debut with the new Core i7).

Just some off-topic info related to this. Back in the early 90s

Oops. My reply caused a lot of confusion. I was referring to kernel
compilation as a possible use of multi core for a power user.

Thanks for pointing that

Thanks for the information. Hope they start writing programs for
multiprocesors as they are becoming common

The fact is, you dont really need to recompile the kernel in modern
Linux systems to get multicore support. The multicore I am referring
to is Symmetric Multi-Processor system (SMP) which i

Why does one need to compile the kernel for effective
multiprocessor support??
