The M54Pe is a PCI/ISA/EISA motherboard that can handle up to 2 plain
jane 133 MHz pentiums (MB Rev B, Rev A only goes to 100Mhz). I have
the Rev B with 2 133's and am running FreeBSD 3.0 in SMP mode and it
runs like a champ! 

NB: the board supports IMPS 1.1 not 1.4 but this hasn't seemed to
cause a problem.
