Date: Thu, 13 Jun 1996 01:55:04 -0700 Message-ID: <28078.834656104@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk That Intel is dumping their 200Mhz P6 aurora motherboards *with* CPU on the market for a street price of $1300 or less? This can't help but have interesting effects on the <$5000K server market. I'm logged into a machine based around one of these right now and it's one darn fine little compile/compute server, I can tell you that. Satoshi's building packages on it for 2.1.5R at a mile a minute right now.. With 64MB of memory and an AHC2940UW controller / XP32150W 2GB drive combo (plus the usual misc serial/net/vga bits), this machine apparently set its owner back somewhere in the neighborhood of $3600. Just food for thought. Jordan
