I've always wanted to have an SMP system and having noticed recently a lot of Ppro/200s (some with 512k cache) going on ebay for around the $50US mark, I'm seriously considering making myself up an SMP FreeBSD Box. Anyway, one of the things holding me back is the potential cost of fitting out a Dual PPro board with 128MB+ of EDO SIMMs. I figured there's probably quite a few guys on these lists who have dealt with this sort of hardware in the past, so I was wondering if anyone knows: Were there any Ppro boards made that supported SDRAM (ie DIMMs) ? I believe riser cards are available to convert Socket 8 CPUs to Slot 1 - does anyone have any experience with them ?
