Title : GNU-Darwin Gets Opteron Support 
Date : 2006-05-27 
Code : <a href="http://www.gnu-darwin.org/" target="blank">GNU-Darwin</a> has gotten <a href="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=576137" target="blank">support for AMD's Opteron processors</a>. "Mac OS X users are welcome to give free software a try now. I finally got a chance to try GNU-Darwin-1.1 on an Opteron machine with Darwin-7.2. Testing with glxgears confirms that the MesaGL is performing about twice as fast as on a comparable 32-bit CPU, although some other tasks are clearly not yet optimized. The machines are otherwise roughly identical. <a href="http://www.gnu-darwin.org/today2.png" target="blank">Here</a> is a screenshot."
