Not bad. I can't remember who, but I know someone selling similar (probably same) MB, 2 PPro 166s (the ones with 512K cache) and 64MB ram for about $400. Or at least was, about 6 weeks ago. Case, HD and NT 4.0 server isn't worth $95 + 32MB ram, smaller cache, slower CPU to me, at least. I can't remember where I found it, but it was through either www.streetprices.com or www.pricewatch.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
