Theres a deal where I can get an IBM dual capable board that has one PII 266 cpu in there right now. The whole rig has 3 4.6 HD's, 128 megs of ram, and other stuff. I want to know if I should get this, becuase I want to get into smp, but want to know a few things:
Its an IBM PC Server 330
I was thinking of yanking out the old 266 single proc, and putting in two pII 450s. This rig would be just for the sake of having another rig, and learning more about computers. I might use it as a file server or somehting, but want to know if putting two 450's in there will really make it semi-usable. If it is going to still be slow, I probly wont do it, but if I can do regualr stuff at a decent rate, I might get it. Also, has anyone ever had this settup? I cant seem to find the motherboard they use or anything. Might be able to overclock it if I get it. Thanks.
