Very Few Dual Processor Motherboards will be cheap. Some don;t even have AGP or PCI-X slots. Some will come with Console support on the COM1. Lotsa thing to consider, Duals have traditionally considered Server Arena. Now Dual Opteron... they finally woke up. I just specd a Fantastic Dual machine for a Peer for Play work... (testing) Lotsa disk, lotsa memory, Dual Opteron 248 (2.2GHz). 7K USD. Good luck. -- greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
