    I do have a bunch of these running reliably (RH 7.3 plus the latest
    OpenMosix kernel). I had to go through a few combinations of
    motherboard and RAM (four different manufacturers of RAM) before I got
    something that works. Processors are MP 1900+ or 2000+, boards are
    Tyan S2466, memory is in PC2100 ECC registered 512MB sticks from
    Corsair. Case and power supply are PC Power and Cooling, mid tower,
    450W PS, every fan bay filled. These machines have been rock
    stable for months except for a failed IBM deathstar drive and an
    over-temp shutdown when the room AC failed.

    I still have a couple of the 760MP boards (as opposed to the MPX
    boards) which I just can't get to run properly with two processors.
