That depends on what counts as "comparable". When the i840 is working properly (with RDRAM) there isn't really anything "comparable" when it comes to memory bandwidth. You can go upmarket a bit to systems based on the RCC chipset (Tyan have a board that's meant to be out soon using these parts), or down a bit to the i440GX-based boards from various vendors. For a 'workstation'-class system, it's still hard to beat the old 440BX. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
