Happily, this machine supports parity and full caching of the 256MB of memory (as opposed to Triton, which only cached 64MB out of 128MB). Check out the specs for the motherboard at: http://asustek.asus.com.tw/Products/P6/pi-p6rp4.html So far it seems to be performing very well, and a `make world' of 2.1-RELEASE completes in just over 2 hours from a standing start (clean /usr/obj). We hope to have it up and serving between 500-600 users (if not more, we're going to start conservatively for obvious reasons) at ftp.cdrom.com in another week or so. Jordan
