lol.  I'd put it in a w2k box before I'd give it away :)

No, it's just amazing how cheap dual systems are now.  $118 will get you an
ABIT BP6, and Celeron 500s are $79.  Less than $300 for a dual 500mhz
system.  It's amazing.  Or you can buy the whole system with dual celery
400s for $196.

Then, if yer even cheaper, but still want to play with SMP, you can get what
I currently have.  A Dual Pentium II board, which only supports cpus from
233-333 (440LX chipset).  I run dual PII 333s at 83mhz bus, and it's pretty
sweet.  AGP, UDMA-33 and everything.  You can get this board, with
integrated SCSI (!!!) for $58.  Then you get the two PII 333s, which aren't
that cheap at $130 each, but it's still a relatively good deal.  In my case,
I already had one PII 333, so it didn't cost me that much.
