The bays were for 486 chips at multiples of the current clock frequency. Your existing chip could be used as one of the processors. I would assume you probably could not mix different speed chips, but don't quote me on that. > Did it claim to follow the Intel MP spec? Didn't say. I was going to call the company to see if I could get any info just for curiosity. It would be nice, wouldn't it? > What did it cost, including processors (or processor, if a 486)? The quoted price was $499. Keep in mind that this was in the "New & Improved" section of PC Mag. The CPUs were not included, but as I said earlier, you can your your existing chip as one of them. > 800 number? Didn't have one. There is a regular number: 503-757-0934. I'm not premoting this product, it just caught my eye and sparked my interest in SMP for FreeBSD. --- John H. Aughey (Instructional Lab Administrator) jha@cs.purdue.edu
