So dream machine would be - 4 PPro 200's (overclocked to 233 :) all with 1Mb of L2 cache and > 512Mb RAM. regards, chris -- Christopher Day, The reman, Loosecannon E-Mail the_reman@hotmail.com Homepage http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Lair/1218 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
