RE: Questions on Alpha/Linux.

[Chris Boyer <ketric www gsa1 com>]

To make matters stranger, it was givin to me. And I'm not sure where the
guy who gave it to me got it. This is how the MB lays out:

	6 PCI slots (all 32s) 
	1 ISA Slot
	4 Dimms (2 banks of 2)
	2 IDE (UDMA)
	1 Floppy
	1 MB L2 cache
	
	I kinda assumed it was an older board, as it doesn't have any
64bit pci slots, And it seems to me that it's a little over a year old.
(from bios dates).
