    Did you manage to find out why your machine crashed? What are you doing to heavily
    load them?

    We run numerous 4.x SMP machines without any problems. Some of them are
    heavily CPU loaded, too loaded sometimes. Others are heavily network loaded.
    They don't crash though. We have uptime on several SMP machines running 4.62 of
    more than one year. I know that's not current, but I've no reason to update them.

    -> I wonder too What about HyperThreading ?!

    We have this enabled on some machines too. I've often debated the value of this
    with colleagues for our particular circumstances. You would have to elaborate on
    what you are doing to find out how useful it is for you.

    -> Second How can I learn What is 1:1 and M:N thread libraries ? ! How

    You might have a look at www.freebsd.org/smp, and also read the smp newsgroup
    archives.

    Is this doing the same task as your FreeBSD machine? If so, what's the task?

    -> Thanks

    Cheers,
