It sure will use the duals, if you upgrade it to quads you will need to use a server version of the OS or re compile the kernel for 4 way support..

I have 2 running LINUX redhat. Check ebay for the current going prices.

Hi all,

I've got an opportunity to buy a second hand Compaq Proliant 5500 server. It has dual PIII XEON/500MHz processors, 1.2 Gb RAM, 3x18 Gb HDUs and a SCSI Ultra Wide 2. Yet, it "only" costs about US$1500.00

IMHO that would be a great replacement for my current LTSP server. I wonder however if Linux can currently handle all the goodies which are inside that box. Especially the dual processors and the chipsets on the motherboard.

Opinions anyone ?
