That Intel is dumping their 200Mhz P6 aurora motherboards *with* CPU
on the market for a street price of $1300 or less?  This can't help
but have interesting effects on the <$5000K server market.

I'm logged into a machine based around one of these right now and it's
one darn fine little compile/compute server, I can tell you that.
Satoshi's building packages on it for 2.1.5R at a mile a minute
right now..

With 64MB of memory and an AHC2940UW controller / XP32150W 2GB drive
combo (plus the usual misc serial/net/vga bits), this machine
apparently set its owner back somewhere in the neighborhood of $3600.

Just food for thought.
