Well... simple... the price : fl 1800 for a P2B-DS and 2x 266mhz P2 That's cheaper than fl1600 for a single p2 400mhz... and even cheaper than a AMD-K6-2 333mhz with a new board + seperate Diamond Fireport U2W Dual... and yes I'm "just" a student... but I work hard as a programmer in the Dijkzigt Hospital... currently on a hartlung machine :) And I simply wanted as a friend of mine took it too... and I wanted too upgrade anyway... and I can now quake with softrender... till my mga g-200 arrives.... for the rest I mostly "power computing" like rendering etc... so I kinda need it :) Greets, Jeroen Massar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-aic7xxx" in the body of the message
