It should perform nicely ;-) I think it is important to point out that this (the wuarchive) is a 200 PPro overclocked. I dug up some info and found (Quote): Its configuration is as follows: SuperMicro P6DNF multiprocessor motherboard The motherboard has on it: Natoma chipset 5 PCI slots 4 ISA slots Two CPU sockets 8 SIMM slots 2 serial ports 1 parallel port 2 IDE interfaces One 200MHz P6 CPU ("Pentium Pro") w/512K L2 cache 1GB of main memory (8 * 128MB 60ns EDO SIMMs) 1 Adaptec AHA-3940 PCI dual-channel narrow FastSCSI controller 1 Adaptec AHA-3940UW PCI dual-channel wide UltraSCSI controller 1 Intel Pro/100B PCI 100Mbps Fast Ethernet controller 1 StorQuest ISA SVGA adapter 14 4.3GB fast-narrow SCSI drives (Quantum, Seagate) 9 9.1GB ultra-wide SCSI drives (Micropolis, Quantum) Rack mounted color SVGA monitor Personally, I'd love to have just one of the pieces of the remarkable machine. -- Kris Kirby ------------------------------------------- A Person is smart.
