Third.. we did have a consumer 2p board for the home user. It was called skulltrail, and it was insanely expensive.
lol
not many people reading this thread were in the hobby that long to remember a abit bp6.
Heh, I had a BP6 with 512MB of ram, and two Celeron slot-1 333s running at 500mhz. It was a helluva experience using Win2k and trying to get a game to take advantage of it. I think I finally succeeded with a version of Quake 2, but then a patch broke the SMP. It's been a long damned time back, but I just remember it being frustrating and a bit of fun as well.
Heh, BP6 was a thing of inexpensive beauty. Dual-550MHz's for me. Really sad that nearly 10yrs later and an expensive platform like Skulltrail is the closest we come to touching those past golden days of the mainstream portion of the enthusiast movement. (air-cooling, soft-bios OC'ing, etc)
