memconf And AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor

The last update to the excellent memconf utility (V2.5 22-Feb-2008) support properly recent Solaris Express releases, and my recent change from the stock AMD Opteron Processor 148 to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+. (I mostly did that change just to be able to access two run queues separately, not to gain more power per se.)

So, here is the new and appropriate memconf report:

memconf Update!

AS you may notice, there is a new version of the memconf utility. I am proud that the improved x86 support was done using my Sun Ultra 20 as the reference Opteron (amd64) system ;-)

Here are the outputs before, and after Tom Schmidt's great work (look at the bold informations):

memconf Now Support x86 Systems

After months of waiting, the well known memconf utility now support x86 systems. Try it yourself!

Here is the output on my personal Sun Ultra 20 workstation (an AMD Opteron machine) running build 51 of OpenSolaris:
