Just if anyone decides to build one themselves (I recently built a dual
1.4) or upgrade one: The Tyan board is EXTREMELY picky about RAM. If
it's not on the list, don't even try it. The comp I built (I didn't
order parts, just assembled) currently has 2GB of worthless DDR RAM in
it because it won't work with the Tyan board (it's the right type, but
the board just don't like it...). Needless to say, even with all the
bad RAM, when I can get it to do something, that sucker is FAST.

The note that I received that accompanies the link:
"Just threw away my Intel 66 MHz 486 machine (nobody wants it), which my
company bought for over $5,000.
Now I can buy a PC with dual CPUs (for a "total of 3.6 GHz"--since clock
rate becomes irrelevant after a certain speed, 2x1.8 GHz is actually
better than 1x3.6 GHz, if some company is dumb enough to try to produce
it) for less than 40% of that price. Things have really changed, haven't
they?
I think this superPC will be very useful in doing graphics (especially
video editting), and as a thin-client server. But I am doing neither of
these. :-("
