Yes System got two: vendor_id : GenuineIntel model name : Pentium III (Coppermine) cpu MHz : 868.671 cache size : 256 KB It's an ASLab system with 4 Ultra100 Cards each with 4 80G maxtor drives. So with the video and network card the PCI slots are full. The raid tools are raidtools-0.90-9mdk as shipped with Mandrake 7.2.
