Well, PCI-X and the FSB really have little to do with SMP programming. The fundamental basics of cache coherency and SMP concurrency issues will forever remain the same, as long as we continue the current model of SMP operating system support. So its still a very valid and interesting read. Coupling it with a book on a current version of Linux will do well, though. Robert Love -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
