I wouldn't have paid $474.00 US for a 6 processor version of this PCI card in the first place. Why? #1. Its made from cheap outdated military processors you could probably pick up for $5 per unit. (not saying profit is good but,...) #2. The speed is not that great considering it takes 6 cpus to deliver 6 blocks in 16 hours. For $474 US ($600 canadian approx.) I could buy 2 P3 600s that combined would give you 8 blocks in about 24hrs, not much slower and youd have a much more powerful system overall:) Saving my quotes til I really need them
