I have been running a dual processor AMD Athlon server with a 760-based Tyan motherboard, 2GB memory, 100GB disk, Redhat Linux 7.3 without problem. I've watched for but have not seen any problems with the global interpreter loc. The workload seems to distribute over the processors without any problems. Uptime is currently a something like 5 months. We support several thousand users using Zope. The original installation of RH7.3 was painful because interrupts were being directed to the wrong processor on intial load. Getting the intial load required the use of the magical, undocumented flag '-isys' at load-boot time.
