Sender: current-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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
