Looking to find best price on SMP PC parts
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:13 am
I'm looking to build an AMD MP or athalon dual processor system for making builds.
I learned how to run multiple distros on one machine in a chrooted environment. By doing this I'd be able to make packages for any distro really easy (after I learn the spacifics of the distros of course) and it only take a few moments to replace a corrupt envirnoment. The big thing is it takes a lot of proc/mem to do this. The other nice thing is I can keep two copys of each distro so there is always a backup and I could go as far as three copys so one version is for testing. The best pricing I found so far is ~$250 each proc (thats for the slowest AMD MP) and about $300 to $500 for the board. Anyone know where I might find these two items any cheaper?
Thanks,
Cordel
