FYI... I have just aquired an ASUS P65UP5 w/C-P6ND Dual Pentium Pro daughter card, but due to the recent (last 3 weeks) price surge in Pentium Pro chips I have not had any of them around to do testing with :-(. Anyone out there tried this board? Or anyone interested in purchasing one of these? (A bit pricey at $696.00) Or anyone have a pair of PPro's in the pdx area who wants to borrow it and give it a test drive? -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation, Inc.
