These system boards are made by Intel under the 'code' name alda (alder? well at least I know I'm close)
The predecessor to this series was the Xtended Xpress, which supported 4 Pentiums, and was used in HP Netserver LS units.
I've briefly used Linux SMP on the LS. My expectations are that the PPro version should be A-OK as well. Does this unit have built in video and SCSI like the LS? The LS has dual 7870 (Adaptec 2940W) and a cirrus logic video chip.
