To: smp@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 5 Jun 1997 00:10:29 +0930 (CST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL28 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-smp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk G'day; in brief, I've been offered a Supermicro board (either a P6*E or F, it's not immediately clear), for around AUD$300 (US$240). I've been toying with the idea of building a new machine, and an SMP box sounds like a lot of fun. Is this a bearable price? Is the board a goer, or a lemon? (yes, I've noted the two are listed on the SMP pages) Any other suggestions while I'm at it?
