Hmm, well I am only short of the dual Xeon, had a look at the

hmm,...damn I knew I should have followed my instinct :-)
instead I am sitting here with a 3.2 P4 800

anyway thanks for the feedback - back to the drawing board!

PS: would you raid any of this stuff! if not I may as well build a storage
