I got out bid while I was in class.  I just want a couple of CPUs for my
4/600s.  Perhaps something like one fast single processor one, and a slower
quad setup, and see which is best for software raid5.  If that machine does
nothing other than serve files to a network over nfs, smb, and whatever apple
uses, then surely it shouldn't take much CPU power to saturate a pair of 
100mbit connections from a raid5 file system.  Isn't that what Auspex did?
