Subject: Computer I may buy seeking advice.

I came across this machine on ebay.
Which is a Quad Xeon 500mhz machine with 2gigs of RAM.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-PowerEdge-6300-Quad-Intel-Xeon-550MHz-2-GB-RAM_W0QQitemZ5801651548QQcategoryZ51229QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

While 500mhz is rather slow by todays standards, I'm more interested in the fact
that it's a quad system. I've also been told this could be later upgraded to
perhaps 1-1.2ghz CPU's if I needed more speed.

At $199 seems like a decent chess box for doing/testing SMP code.

Any comments? Suggestions?
