Comments:

	It's a pretty cool board -- 8 SIMM slots, up to 512MB RAM, and 5
PCI slots.  According to the docs, you can't use SIMMS with more than about
24 DRAM chips on them, so composite 64MB SIMMs are out.  (i.e. 32 or 36
chip 64MB SIMMs aren't guaranteed to work) The 5th slot is the same as the 
fourth, wiring/interrupt-wise, so make sure that if you use those slots the 
cards work okay sharing interrupts.  In general that shouldn't be a problem, 
though.  The CPUs reside on a daughtercard that plugs into the motherboard.  
You can get either a dual Pentium daughtercard with the Triton II chipset, 
or a dual Pentium Pro daughtercard with the Natoma chipset.
