Hi, I'm not in here much since I am away from home. I have a old Compaq Proliant 6000 server that has quad, allbeit slow, 200MHz CPUs. It works fine and it only needed me to change the kernel to a SMP kernel and set the max CPU to the max it will hold, 8 for you and 4 for me. It takes care of the rest pretty well. I'm not on this list to much so if you need to ask me something, please reply directly or CC me and put rdalek instead of dalek, just add a "r" to the front of the email addy. Please don't post the whole thing though. I check it more right now because I'm at my ladies house and I am doing this through the website with no thread options like in Mozilla. Sort of ticks me off. I plan to bring my rigs up here soon. She has never heard of Linux or Moilla. O_O Let me know if I can help. Keep in mind I don't have a Linux rig here though.
