Nice.

Ok, currently in the U60 is a single 300Mhz. I am
looking at a minimum of adding a second CPU or if I
can get them for the right price upgrading to two
450's.

>What CPU?
Ahh.. this is a slow one.. 250Mhz..
Both boxes have 512 mb ram

Thanks for the hints. I know now this is at least
worth looking at.
My other option is to stick the DVD in one of my
Alphaserver 3305's (whitebox AS800) 500Mhz EV5 and use
with Linux though having a 3305 on a desk is a bit
more awkward!
