pae's TS-Horse.....comments Tom's review of Tyan S1564D (Dual P5-AT-430HX) tomshardware.com Plus a 10baseT card... (do I lose a PCI slot?) You have 4 PCI and five ISA slots If you want four video cards in four PCI slots your SCSI, modem?? and 10baseT will have to go in ISA slots. Since you are using the SCSI for speed you may want the Adaptec card in a PCI slot? 231 watt power supply is on the low end, you might want to bump it to 250 watt if it is an option. Dual processors in a system with the cache on the motherboard are not as effective as dual processors with the cache in the processor (PRO and PII) I have no idea how much difference there is or if it matters. pcguide.com >>In addition, the Intel Pentium Pro is currently the best choice for multiprocessing because each chip has its own self-contained level 2 cache. In a system with more than one processor and level 2 cache on the motherboard, the processors must share the cache. Each new processor added to the system results in less cache per processor, which degrades performance. Each Pentium Pro however comes with its own level 2 cache, avoiding this problem and greatly improving performance, particularly on four-processor systems.<< When you install wire nuts on those big wires in your new circuits be sure they are twisted on well. I discovered that when I installed my ovens! JMHO Zeuspaul
