Yep, the GXa has a proprietary daughterboard for the second CPU (the
other CPU is on the mobo). My machine has a CPU on the mobo and the
"filler" in the place of the daughterboard. For some weird reason
I'm a huge fan of the PPro, so I'd love to get a second CPU into
my little GXa (which would admittedly be overkill, 'cos it's my
firewall/router).
