Jordan, I do not have a "spare" dual P5 motherboard, but I did get a nice dual pentium Micron board for $99 from www.a1pc.com (the part is not listed on their web page, but is in their print ads). It is a FULL AT motherboard w/512K cache and built-in I/O and PS/2 connectors. The part number is M54Pe, and it is PCI/ISA - not sure about FreeBSD compatability (haven't tried it yet), but it is a nice WinNT box and has lots of memory slots (8 IIRC). Hope this helps, Ken Hansen khansen@njcc.com Jordan K.
