We are currently interested in finding out how well Linux works
with the new Pentium II processors, especially the 300MHz variety. We
currently have about 50 production servers running Linux-SMP (2.0.27) on
dual Pentium Pro 200 MHz boxes, but with Intel's announcement that they
are discontinuing the Pentium Pro line, we need to look to the future.
If you have used Linux with a Pentium II processor we would like
to hear from you. This is especially true if you have a SMP machine. We
are interested in answers to the following questions:
1. Have you experienced any problems that can be attributed to the new
processor?
2. Have you performed any benchmarks comparing the Pentium II with the
Pentium Pro and can we see them?
3. Have you used Linux SMP on dual processor Pentium II systems and if
so, has your experience been satisfactory?
4. Have you seen any significant performance improvements over Pentium
Pro based systems or Pentium systems?
5. Overall, would you recommend the Pentium II over the Pentium Pro?
