is Nvidia chipset motherboards supported ?

Hi Folks.

I want to update my old amd64 2800+ to a new amd64 X2
4000+ plus a Nvidia chipset Motherboard.

Is this chipset supported ? or any experiences working
with this cpu's and/or another motherboards.

Best Regards.

Enhanced Speedstep patch for amd64


Hey folks... here's a patch to be able to use Enhanced Speedstep
on Intel EM64T CPUs.

Please test both on i386 and amd64!

I just tested it on my i386 Pentium M. Now I need only an amd64 tester.

I can test it on my macbook, but for quicker test I need builded  
kernel. Can you upload amd64 kernel with this patch somewhere ?

amd64 syscall.c question

I posted this to tech-kern, but I meant to send it to this list as well.

I know so little assembly that I need someone to clue me in on whether
my concern is out in left field.

Anyway, this is my original message:

I'm just wondering whether or not, in
syscall_fancy()/syscall_plain(), rval[1] should be assigned 0 or
frame->tf_rdx?  And should child_return() set tf_rdx=0 (as it is), or
to 1?  I can't seem to find a straight answer on google (read: this is
too new to me for me to be certain from reading the code alone).

Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a bug lurking.

Thanks,

My understanding is that in 4.3 there used to be syscalls that
returned 2 values (grep _with_ /usr/src/sys/kern/syscalls.master),
and the second value used %edx on i386 (the first uses %eax). This
dual return is also used in COMPAT_LINUX.  Since amd64 did not
exist circa 4.3BSD, these syscalls were never used, and there are
no other syscalls that require 2 value return currently, so there
is no need to do anything to %rdx since nobody uses it (the first
value is returned on %rax).
