If you're selling it, you're missing a critical bit of information - how much cache does it have? New P3 Xeons run from around $70 to over $1400 depending on how much cache they have. Anyone interested in using it in an SMP system - i.e., me - will need to know the stepping number, as they are supposed to match. Actually, the same is true of the cache size. FWIW, I found a Xeon Mobo for $199 when I checked pricewatch just now. Doe that maybe change your mind? http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
