I have the P54SP4 running as my main server.  It is nice
an solid, 4 pci slots, but about 5-35% slower than the
original Intel Plato.  I also have a 100MHZ TP4 with
the pipelined sram, it's about 30% faster than the neptune.
Yes, you can add all those percentages... It works fine
with a 032195 system, but I had too much trouble with
the 032295 SNAP labeling disks to see if it still works.
I imagine it does, and if so, that is the motherboard you
should buy.  I got mine for $365.  It's about $100 cheaper
without the pipelined sram.  It is also *very* hard to find,
maybe impossible this month.

The company I was working for 6 months ago bought some
opti boards.  Wouldn't work for crud then.  Maybe
revisions since then have made them the best?  Haven't
heard anything...

YMMV,
Russell
