Hi all,
I'm very new to the FreeBSD OS, hopefully someone will help me with this. I just upgraded my FreeBSD 8.2 32bit HP P4 system to a dual core Dell 490 FreeBSD 8.2 64bit 4GB of RAM with a 500 GB SATA drive.
I was doing a benchmark on the Dell 490 by copying a 500 MB file locally to the same directory. It took almost 35 seconds to complete while it only took 5 second on the P4. This is very puzzling to me because the Core 2 Dual is supposed to be much faster than the P4. Am I supposed to install some special driver on the 64bit system?
Any help for the newbie will be appreciated.
