It's been quite a while since I used this list, but it really is among the best IMO. This was a general question and I received the general information I was generally seeking ;) Thanks to: Ken Rossman Alex Madden Michael Horton Joe Fletcher ...for taking the time to reply. I hope I haven't missed anyone. 1. The idea that disabling interleaving affected which memory banks a processor could address was firmly dismissed as incorrect. 2. The overall performance hit is generally adjudged to be minor, but 'Mileage Will Vary' is the key word and is surely why Sun seems to avoid anything firm in this regard. In fact Mr. Rossman, in responding to my comment about the difficulty in digging up resources relating to it on Sun stated that "...I never could either in the 11 years I was at Sun..." So I don't feel too bad about turning to the list after only a day or two of generally fruitless digging on docs.sun.com and Google.
