[geeks] FreeBSD install problem on ALR server

[Ken Hansen]

Oh well, I have another SMP PPro box (PR440fx Providence, IIRC) that could probably use more... but no biggie, that machine is sitting on the floor of my basement now :^(

BTW, what are you using for a graphics card? I have the "original" 1 Meg video card in it, but 256 colors is a bit limiting (I am running 1024x768). If I could find the right RAM chips to take it to 2 MB onboard (it has two sockets) I'd do that and be done with it, but no one seems to sell those chips anymore...

You are stuck. the Proliant 800 cannot digest CPU's with more than 256K of
cache.

I know this. The machine this is being typed on is a P800 and it would not
accept the overdrive CPU's. After some poking around Compuke site says 256 only.
