I've no idea how they placed the order... Maybe they did it with our account manager?

Usually if you've bought a number of machines and if you're talking to the right person you'll get some kinda special deal

I just got my order confirmation and it would appear for my 188 I've gotten the next processor up .. the Dual Core Xeon 3040 AHEM .. 2mb cache ...
Blacknight I don't suppose ye already have any of these machines ? and if so what did ye install on them ? read a thread that there were some problems with fedora and them ... so I'm open to suggestions as to what to install .. I had planned on ubuntu but as I said am open to suggestions

dam I paid extra for that

Yea I think we will put SUSE on it, we have it on few machines with SATA already, so it should be fine, Fedora doesn't support sata, I think thats what the issue there is.

Damn ... didn't know that ... seems kinda crazy of them not to though ??

Yea it does, I couldn't say 100% they don't but I'm sure I read that today when looking into it.
