In the other hand: + dual core CPU support official By tyan. + Free PCI-X 64/133 slot. + Broadcom BCM5704C dual channel to PCI-X bridge. + Intel 82551QM to PCI 32/33 I doesn't try run this with just a dual-core CPU. ALso this will limit=20 RAM to 4 slot/ 8 GB. So think in a base 244 (x2) system with DDR333 (x4). =2D- josemi
