BTW, just some notes ...

1.  The article, including figures, were written in 2004 July
2.  The article was published in 2004 October (November
issue)
3.  The nForce Pro 2200 + 2050 were not announced until
_after_ the article came out

The design itself was based on the rumored "CK04 Pro" IWill
mainboard shown in Tawain around the time I finished the
article.  It only uses the nForce Pro 2200 + AMD8131, but
puts them all on CPU#0.

The nForce Pro 2200 + AMD8131 on CPU#0 with nForce Pro 2050
on CPU#1, is the common implementation in the Tyan S2895.

There is only one other chip/chipset option I know of that
has PCI-X slots, the Broadcom/ServerWorks HT1000/2000 series.
 But I've only seen one implementation of it, and it's always
with the HT1000+2000 combination (both on the same CPU?  Or
different?  I actually don't know).

Frankly, I'd like to see a $150-200 HT1000 single Socket-940
Opteron 1xx mainboard.  That would be a "killer" entry-level
server board.
