Dual Processing Rocks!

[Natenate]

O.k., so I've had a hardon for years to build a dual processor system. I finally got out of college and became gainfully employed in the IT industry and whammo! had the money to build myself a nice little machine. I'm using a Chenbro Net server case. You can check them out on rackmountpro.com I'm also using a Tyan Tiger 230 motherboard with dual PIII 1GHz processors and 1.5 Gigs of Ram. 2 80 gig hard drives and an MSDN copy of Win2k Server and I'm done. So now that I've got it up and running and cracking rc5 like nobody's business I'm curious...anyone else used the Tiger 230 Motherboard? I seem to be having problems with my USB ports. I'm just curious if it is maybe a fault in the board or if I'm missing a configuration that someone else might have run across.

Please tell me you're using your machine for things other than RC5. Otherwise, what's the point?

Of course I'm using it for other things...but why waste extra clock cycles? I'm running an ftp server, webserver, and terminal services on it. For some reason they won't give me a server to play with here at work, so I have to do all my test bed type stuff at home.
