[SunRescue] Pentium Pro VRMs?

[Ken Hansen]

VRMs are available at eBay quite readily, but they are expensive - a PPro
VRM for my $200 PPro server was $40 (IIRC), and the 2nd PPro 200 was about
$30, and the system that was $200 incl. a 20" Sun monitor, 4 Gig U/W HD, and
128 Meg RAM... So, in comparison to my PPro system, the VRM was quite
expensive...

I haven't had the heart to turn down the machine to install the second CPU
yet - it's been up 23+ days (since I bought it) and hasn't had a problem
yet. It is running Linux Mandrake 7.1.

Who is *still* happy with that last-minute purchase at TCF this year...
