Current pricing at atipa: Generally if they are step 7 or later, they will work together, and it will be real hard to find anything but step 9's, unless its some reused chips..

I've run a TYAN S1662D with a 200 and a 180 CPU for 4 month, now it is two 180 running at 200 (the 200 is running 233 in a UP system). Prices here in DK land are "somewhat" lower for the 200/256K about $300, they are dropping prices on the PPro's right now as intel would like you to buy a crippled PPro aka PII... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end ..
