if i have a dual PPro machine, will FreeBSD 2.2.x take advantage of it? or do i need the 3.x series? how about support for Pentium II? or dual

2.X Will *NOT* utilize your second CPU You must have 3.0-SNAP or Current. I run 3.0-980426-SNAP on 2 of my production machines. One's an older dual P-5, and the other is a dual PentiumPRO. They are both very reliable. ( and fast! ) Keep in mind that SMP stuff is in BETA and not recommended for production use. Caution is advised! ( although many of us use it ;-)

how about support for Pentium IIs? are there people using FreeBSD 2.x/3.x on PII machines? are the machines reliable?
