Hello, been a while, dual CPU mobos

[Byron L. Sonne]

 > You asked for the "Most Bang for the Buck"

When it came to dual SMP motherboards and CPUs! That's all... I wasn't 
asking for the underlying analysis that begat this whole question of 
mine to be criticized. Otherwise I would have said "Most bang for the 
buck; should I go SMP or not, and why?" That's the main damn reason I 
didn't volunteer any information. I figured if I did, people would tell 
me 'go run some stats program, check your configuration and report back 
your findings, you don't need SMP'.

It would seem that perhaps there were thoughts where it was assumed I 
wanted SMP for some specious or idiotic reason of some kind, and it was 
someone's duty to talk me out of it. Either that or it was interepreted 
as an occasion for people to hop on the soapbox and show how smart they 
are. Both of which I hoped to avoid, but it seems found me anyways.

This is not to say that there weren't useful or amusing replies! Lennart 
came across well as usual, and William Park's response was hilarious! 
(btw William, now you can say that someone spending their own money is 
talking about a cluster ;) Which brings me to a secondary and minor 
concern; I didn't particularly want people to know that I was 
investigating assembling a cluster. Strange things happen and strange 
people come out of the woodwork unbidden when cries of 'Cluster!' 
reverberate through the air...

I'm not as cranky right now as I probably come across as, but I just got 
done dealing with some clown on another list and I'm kinda exasperated.

Regards,
Byron
