Yeah ....   unfortunately POST gives me little useful information.  It
just says Intel Xeon 3.20GHz, liberally scattered with trademark
symbols.  I *THINK* they're P4 Xeons, but I'm not really up to date on
Intel processor variations and I won't know for sure until I can get a
look at the processor ID string.
