More info on this board:

http://www.alr.com/service/support/MEMORY/rev_6x6.htm

This is a 6 way Pentium Pro motherboard with 8 PCI, 5 EISA slots, builtin
IDE and an Adaptec 7880 controller.

The seller is selling the system with the DIMM card and 2 TRI-6 CPU
boards.

While he is offering them at auction, I emailed him and asked him how much
he would sell boards for outside of auction.

I'm getting one at $104.00 (s/h included).

I'm pretty sure that PC100 ECC DIMMs will work on the DIMM board and I've
found places that are selling PPro200/256k for $41.00 each (pulls, matched
quads).  The only other thing I"m unsure of is the power supply
requirements and just how big the case is going to be.

Anyhow, if you've been looking for a monster SMP box, I don't think you'll
be able to put together one with as many CPUs for as little as this setup.

=== end quoted message ===

I've also discovered that an 'I/O board' is required for this machine
since it doesn't have the keyboard port on the motherboard.  ALR/Gateway
probably has more.  I'll be tracking down the info and posting it to
matts-hardware if anyone is interested.
