kind of. although i am a little overwhelmed. the system is scheduled for downtime saturday night and i want to place a new processor in it (it's a P5 120 servicing about 200 users, with about 70 simultaneous logins - yay linux. but the load is 1.7 and i need to make it faster). so i want to find out (a) what processors are supported by the board, and (b) any jumper settings up front, so that actual downtime is 30 minutes... martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- it's as bad as you think, and they are out to get you.
