Hmm, I see, it's Opteron-based. Damn Sun.

instance). Most o

It's nothing special, hardware-assisted software RAID. Kinda like what

Not if you consider the clock speeds some parts of it run (the
HyperTransport interconnect, PCIe buses). Needs a lot of juice. Also,
note that you might have to saw off one or two rods

Be aware, though, that the Gigabyte NF4 board that ships without fan
frequently surpasses 85°C. Now it might or might not care about that but
it was enough for me to go the Via

After spending all day researching it I've finally ordered the
parts to build two new machines. I couldn't justify the cost
of an opteron dual-core based MP box so I decided to go with
Athlon 64 X2 based boxes built from parts. The X2 is AMD's low-end
dual-core offering. Eac
