It would sure be nice to have a multi-K6 machine.  :)

Oh...  By the way.  Has anyone done any benchmarks on the K6 chips under
FreeBSD yet?  If not, let me know what tests you all want done on one,
because I'm going to be picking up my first K6 for evaluation tomorrow.
It's only a K6-166 chip, and I'll be running it in an ASUS HX board, but
it should be some kind of indicator as to what the things can do.

Later......						<Doug>
