Re: Ultra AXmp

[Bob Drzyzgula <bob@drzyzgula.org>]

Well, I guess that answers the question of why Intel doesn't
cause quad-processor x86 servers to cost $20K... they just
hadn't gotten around to it yet. :-)

BTW, does anyone happen to know how a Quad-processor
Ultra AXmp system is likely to do under UltraPenguin?
From what I've seen it should be possible to build such
a thing for about $20K. I've seen some discussion of
this board on some Linux mailing lists, but Linux-specific
issues related to this board weren't discussed... :-\
