We have had some pretty mixed results with Computer Geeks. Note that they will ship extra VRM's with their Providence boards, but no port shields. Also note that you need super-funky DIMMs for these boards (EDO, buffered, parity or ECC). They also had a stock of P6-166/512's, but as they were shipping them LOOSE IN THE BOX, I expect that most of them have come back and been binned by now. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
