The real test would be if all 4 PVR 500's will work (stable) with a new motherboard, and I don't have a motherboard in my desktop machine with 4 PCI slots. On a whim, I've crossed my fingers and purchased a new MSI 945P_Neo3-F and Intel Core 2 Duo 6600E (and 2Gigs DDR2) to replace the ASUS board and Opteron. Maybe this will do the trick. I'm recompiling the kernel to include SMP. Let me know if anything here sounds like a bad idea.
