Epox pp6-ns dual Pentium Pro motherboard



Sometime ago, I asked this list (and Usenet also) about whether the Epox
pp6-ns dual Pentium Pro motherboard is compatible with Linux.  I got a
reply that as long as it uses the Natoma chipset, it should be OK.

To make a long story short, the board works fine under Linux and NT.  I
haven't had a chance yet to test out OS/2.  NT even notices that it's
multiprocessor capable and installs the multiprocessor kernel.  The whole
box was fairly reasonable in price - ~$1900 for 64 MB mem, 2.5 GB disk,
Diamond Stealth 64 Graphics 2000, Epox pp6-ns mobo with one 180 MHz PPro
chip (no sound card as this is going to be strictly a web server).
