Ken> Hope this helps, 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.
