Hi,

I'm running a 3.0Ghz Pentium-D at 3.75Ghz with SMP and x86_64. Runs great except for 
needing noapic when booting. Otherwise the clocks runs lighting fast. Every thing else 
is working fine.  I'm using kernel 2.6.14-1.1653 that I compile myself to be more 
optimized and specific to my hardware.
