I will admit that I haven't really pushed the SM71/SM61 dual processor
configuration too much. I do use it for compiles (no problems seen - yet), and
for backups of my home network using Amanda, as well as running Seti at home
(sometimes while backing up). What I haven't done is to run the machine for
extended lengths of time (over 12 hours), or use it in a mission-critical
application. BTW I am running Solaris 7 with 128 MB of RAM. I wonder if the
newer versions of Solaris are more tolerant.

I would love to grab a pair of those!! Actually I will most likely get another
SM71 for now. The Ross 150s are still a bit pricy for me.
