Given some time I can try a 2Gb AS4100 as well. Sidestep: anybody ever tried an ES40 'Clipper' ? Tsunami based and max 4 CPUs. Just found one with 4 CPUs and 8Gb of RAM. Brought it down to 2Gb already but lack of time prevented further experiments. -- Wilko Bulte wilko@freebsd.org Arnhem, the Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
