      Hi guys!

      Does pfSense 2.0.1 fully support:

      1. Dual core CPUs 2\. Double CPUs (2-4 lets say)

      I`ve seen it has SMP kernel but some DOC on wiki confused me a little…

      Thanks!

          Hi!

          Thanks, I think it was this one: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Does_pfSense_support_SMP_%28multi-processor_and/or_core%29_systems%3F

            Hmm, seems pretty self explanatory to me (but I already know the explanation!).
            In pfSense 1.2.x you had to selext an SMP kernel specifically if you wanted multicore/cpu support.
            Since the release of 2.0.x all versions have an SMP kernel. This is because the SMP kernel can now support a single core which previously gave trouble.
