What's your budget on this system? You might be able to pull something off with an IBM Netfinity 5000 box; I believe they have the 2-way Xeon upgrade out now, and they seemed certain you could put more than 1GB of memory in the box. I know they have the 2-way Xeon kit on the 5500, but we don't support the onboard SCSI controller so you'd be losing badly there. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
