-Asus A8V Deluxe, Bios 1013, ADM 4400X2, 2*512MB Ram + last SMP-Kernel from 9.3 + scsi controller (DC390U4) + 2 SCSI HD + 2IDE HD runs fine, except some system freeze with vsftpd; solved with an add-on NIC (DL2000) and Marvell Chip disabled; -Also installed 10.0.RC1 on the same hardware; no trouble at installation time, but not tested further... I'm planning to install the AMD4400 on a TYAN Tomcat K8E, but not ordered yet..

Thanks.... After doing a bit more digging I learned that the upcoming 10.0 should have full SMP support for the X2s (from what I understand 9.3 does not out of the box; though a new kernel can of course be compiled-- I have obviously not tested this), so I may hold off until next month. Maybe the prices will go down by then too. Thanks again.
