Many Xeon mobos don't have AGP, I found one that does but it's (only?) a dual. 4-way would be overkill IMO, unless you're doing some serious sh!t. I don't know if there's any 4-way boards with AGP, but if there is I don't think it would be using the 440GX chipset.

I'd love to have one here at work though... Just to mess with ;) I don't care about AGP here.

Currently running BP6 w/2x500 celerons. My system is better than the guys running the (single) Piii 733's

I can run a lot more crap more stable than they can. Though I hate this system because I can't put Piii's in it. Poor planning on ABIT's part.

i once built a 32 proc p3 800 xeon system w/ 32 GB of memory in Dell's erver section of their site...it was only 300,000 bucks too...of course if i bought it then the NSA would come after me cuz id have so much processing power....haha

that aside 2 procs are really good if youve got a system that has lots of tasks running at once on it...just make sure to get plenty of ram too...and id suggest waiting for the amd chipset that does smp...it should be out within 6 months and the money saved between t-bird and p3 will be worth it...
