EM64 is a INTEL Xeon/woodcrest with 64bit extentions. These systems use a shared bus for there CPUs. (no NUMA) a AMD dual Opteron system uses NUMA. (both for single and dual core) a single AMD Opteron dual core doesn't use UNMA. Best regards, Bert. > > CONFIG_NUMA: > Enable NUMA (Non Uniform Memory Access) support.
