I have a server with core 2 duo processor. I install my server with mikrotik v 3.0rc5. I see on the system-resource that the cpu count is “2”. But why if i install my server with mikrotik v 3.0 or 3.1, the cpu count shows just “1”. Any suggest?? Cause i have see on the changelog mikrotik and there isn’t some indication of that.
The multi CPU setting is set to OFF by default on the newer releases…
I think that SOME systems were having issues with the multi core function, so to make the system more stable and for initial testing the choice was made to turn the multi CPU function off by default.
It can be enabled (I think it us under the system menu (CLI) I dont think it is available under GUI..
Search the forums an I remember seeing it posted exactly where to turn it on..
We have had mixed experiences with dual-core and SMP in general. We have had some users running hundreds of mbit though dual core enabled systems without issues. We have had customers running later version of RC with dual core on again, with no issues.
We then had some customers running 5 meg traffic plus web-proxy and the units would crash. Had other users running 600+ PPPoE sessions and it would crash.
Mirkrotik has confirmed this to be a problem, and normally they would not modify the kernel,but they are looking into the problem themselves.
It is a crap shoot, but we have seen significant performance increase in SMP systems, just haven’t been able to reliably use it as of yet.
MY suggestion, is if you don’t need any of the new features and you want the max power out of dual-core or multi-processor systems, then run 2.9. It won’t get you everything, but it will run and run great. 3.x will run with one CPU and will preform about what you expect, a bit over 50% of what it would if dual cores are enabled.
It’s realy rocks I have now 8 procesors look at the picture..

It’s grate , i am so bad in the hardware and software info , can u explain me with what this router will be bether than this machine with the 2 Xeons - (2x Intel Clovertown E5310 1.60GHz 8M cache, 1066FSB, Quad core) the machine was cost to me $1900.00 i am watching now the old PowerRouter 732 is $1,399.00 , and the new PowerRouter 2242 ot 82 have to be more than $2000..
With what PowerRouter is better? than a hardware rackmount pc + MT
Sry for the english , when i was a liitle i didnt love the school so mutch
