I run a ABIT BP6 board with two overclocked Celeron 433's on it. Linux 2.4.16-SMP / 2 Celeron (Mendocino) @ 533.032 MHz Mem: 386M BogoMIPS: 2126.64 hda: FUJITSU MPE3170AT, ATA DISK drive hdb: Pioneer CD-ROM ATAPI Model DR-A14S 0104, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8200, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive The only issues i really have is the Mainboard itself.. I get APIC errors nomartter what i do. But its fast, even with Celly's I havent found too many oddities compared to single cpu machines. As for RAM.. As always: As much as you can afford. The more , the merrier. Disks.. Depending on what you want the box for.. Server: I'd go for SCSI anyday, faster on multiple acesses then IDE Workstation: I'd settle for IDE due to price. NIC: Anything the runs i guess.. I run a Intel Ethernet Pro 100 Audio: I use a SB live! with the 2.4.18 kernel drivers.. Its not the best sollution, but i am to lazy to do anything about it. :) Graphichs: What ever tickles your fancy. I run a Matrox G400 Dual Head on two 19" monitors. But that's me :) I WOULD want to try a SMP Alpha system.. But the $$$'s work against me... So i settle for three UNI-CPU alphas instead... Anyone has a dual or quad board collecting dust somewhere :) - /Rikard --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rikard Johnels email : rjhn@linux.nu mob : +46 70 464 99 39 --------------------------Public PGP fingerprint------------------------------ < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
