I'd go with a dual 350MHz Pentium II. The CPUs are only ~ $315 each! Contrast that to $508 for the 400MHz, or $715 for the 450. You get a 100Mhz bus, which is going to be better than a Pro system. You can get a complete kick-ass system (w/o SCSI, but the IDE driver in -CURRENT does DMA now) for under $2k (plus $1200-$1700 for a nice Sony 21" monitor), with 128MB SDRAM, cdrom, sound, etc. Kevin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
