  ...and remember, upgrading those processors is easy and cheap.  If you've got
four 40MHz processors, that means you're running two SM100 mbus modules. 
Replace them with two SM41s (<$100/ea nowadays) and, even though you'll now
have only two 40MHz processors instead of four, your system will feel much, much
faster.

  (SM100s basically suck)
