Just how good is the Gateway Server?

Looking at the specs, it looks like a better smp system than mine. is the mobo really good?i dunno, i saw gateway and that turned me off from getting the deal. instead, i went seperate ways and built my own. does someone have any benchmarks? im not sure what kind, but i would like to see its performance in comparision to other motherboards/smp systems.

If we're talking about the now famous Gateway Server 6400, its mobo uses the ServerWorks chipset and the retail version sells for about $350. This chipset has been reviewed before in many places, Anandtech being one of them, and is designed specifically for mid to high-end systems. You can probably get some performance figures from these various reviews. Obviously, we're talking only about the mobo here.

Edit: Anandtech review
