It is a dual socket, running two Intel PIII Cpppermine CPU's with an upper limit of 933MHz. It is classified as a server board. The board was new in 2000. The board was installed new, in 2004 (it laid around new in box for a long time), and ran RHEL3 from 2004 until I upgraded to CentOS 5.4 a couple months ago. With 2 gig RAM, it runs well for a Desktop machine. I figure I can squeeze another five years out of it, if I'm lucky. :) - -- - -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with CentOS - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEVAwUBS5Usxf9qkhAVPSgqAQJxXwf/UCwodEQHSW8yR9CrNtZvvGQK4NaeKMxk sbd907l88UGDrjKbx92lpCXzsUbPr7cJrPGwVhqJKFS1LMsYYKJWMIOvBx27ZmIF kRPNJXBXOVTEQ5e/yVWsyXGqytxlD05XcrwzcGBhwpeaO7wQl4Eykwb2NMM3UYNw C0K6crqo+TOg3wb34uJucpb6zmz/0S/efgVhTmjqOScUS2CK9skAaAxq78L3lViQ bJJ7Npq3rbrg0vLqeQ6T5BoXfKOYT56j6Q35tOhGYzTZoFEMdoXLV62hgZ0HQMxk LK8jQCOspU5olboxbRmsiJ1IECF6CDL993nWRahqOktQe0dXfdOFYQ== =2RrV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
