I have none that are faster than 900MHz processors, and the one with the most processors in it is 6x750MHz. > Ken, did the V880s at your university become available as > intended some time ago?

This was its performance on the world built of 7.3-RELEASE: >>> World build started on Sat Mar 20 23:34:54 EDT 2010 >>> World build completed on Sun Mar 21 00:50:58 EDT 2010 - -- Ken Smith - - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkurSrkACgkQ/G14VSmup/aDPACeM4Whnkrn2UfQys/22Y4qTCOa 7soAnAnjusO81m0q/9fvMBDTYR9LjUgj =l35W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
