It can be had for just $875 from Micro Assist. It has 8 SIMM 72 pin modules and 4 PCI and 4 ISA cards. Its model number is MBP6DNF Dual Pentum-Pro Natoma Motherboard from Micro-Assist 888-97-MICRO (processor Mag) (Full-AT Size). They also sell 32 meg SIMMS for 279 each. I'm planning on getting 4 32 meg boards for 128 meg of ram. The reason I'm going dual pentium pro while now BSDI doesn't support mutli processing, but will by the end of the year, and when the faster ones come out (Intel told me that they should go to at least 300 Mhz.), I can just pop in an additional processor. I've also heard rumors (I wouldn't count on it working) that the P7 chip will use the same pins as the P6, but they may be different functionally and this information is preliminary. Jacob
