Looking on two dual-cpu machines I found that they were both 7168. The 4 single cpu machines I've looked at are all different: 20479, 2559, 4087, and 1023. I'm not sure why the one single cpu machine would have such a high number... Maybe this answers the OP's question...it varies from machine to machine. -- S C Rigler RHCE #803003335409754 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
