But you originally said limited budget. That to me immediately ruled out 
SMP SPARC.

I handle 100 HEAVY users on a POS Dell PII 400 without breaking a sweat 
(it also does IPSEC VPN for one office of 10 in Vancouver and between 
2-4 home users and soon another office in LA). I am sure I could replace 
it with my 250MHz U30 without anyone noticing.

I would _really_ like SMP on OpenBSD, but not having it doesn't rule it 
out for me.
