kind of. although i am a little overwhelmed. the system is scheduled
for downtime saturday night and i want to place a new processor in it
(it's a P5 120 servicing about 200 users, with about 70 simultaneous
logins - yay linux. but the load is 1.7 and i need to make it faster).
so i want to find out (a) what processors are supported by the board,
and (b) any jumper settings up front, so that actual downtime is 30
minutes...
