Umm....I bought the newest revision latest October (ok, less than a
month ago) and it has metal CPU levers.......And it is UDMA/66 Capable
(has 2 udma/33 ide controllers, and 2 udma/66 controllers, although the
book makes it seem as if you can only connect one on each 66).
I haven't tried USB, but on Linux....WHY? :)
Well, status update-->I have been using xosview to monitor both
processors. Thanks goes out to everyone who helped me figure all of
that out!! Of course, both proc's spike up and down, which is really
kewl...... ;+)
Is the BIOS upgrade necessary? Will it improve my performance? Y2K?
Show all 4 controllers? Show both processors? My current Bios version
only displays that it has 2 processors during startup, it doesn't show
it in the bios.. . . . . . . . etc.
TTFN,
Andy
