Well, I was either going to rebuild this beast, or buy a new box. I couldn't turn down a bid I won for a new IBM IntelliStation M Pro Pentium III 600MHz SCSI "monster box," for $799 from uBid. 'Has 512MB 100Mhz. RAM, wide ULTRA SCSI, G400 video, a 2-way MOB (ships with 1 CPU), 4 cooling fans, Crystal for sound, 40X CD, and 10/100 base NIC, 3 yrs. warranty from IBM, etc. 'Don't think I went wrong on the price, eh? : ) Anyway, I'll know before too much longer how 7.1 goes on it. Anyone have any experience with these beasts?
