How many PCI busses does the average multicpu PIII server have? We manage

(Actually we're only using 3 right now with a 3 channel SCSI RAID card on
each. It doesn't take much to saturate a PCI bus.)
Then again we have the advantage of having gotten our 450 machines free. :)

I've got a 420R at work -- and I think a
multicpu PIII would put it to
shame in the price/performance area.
*until* you get into serious I/O. Thats when the SPARCs beat the pants
off everything else.
