I hope to be able to have both. The next Iwill demo shipment isn't due in for
3-4 weeks, so looking like later than I was initially told. There is some
interest in a Linux based demo with Wellylug from the importers. If anyone has
some real benchmarks/comparisons/applications to run it would help.

I can't say what CPU/RAM/HDD will be installed. I'd love to see a pair of 248
Opterons, a couple of Gb of memory & a WD Raptor HDD to show it off, but it is
likely to be lower spec'd than that as a demo box....

I have ordered the Socket 939 Shuttle (SN95G5?), which I should be tossing a
A64 3500+ into, so if that gets here in time for the next meeting I'll bring it
along. Prob be running either Mandrake or SUSE 64 bit, maybe just 32 bit
depending on how the apps I want to run work.... 

Fun for technophiles!!

Cheers
