So, we are talking v5e ... what I can read, it's only in 2 core version. Each core, 1.3 - 1.4 x speed of v4e. So, we're talking pretty decent. In reality v4e is pretty decent, around 400 Dhrystone 2.1 MIPS, is not bad. Considering that modern 64bit cpu's are at twice that, per core. If I recall.
Backplane? I've been thinking about putting mine in a PCI backplane, but heard some advices against it, because of some problems? What do I need to concern myself with, when the backplane is concerned? So, I can get myself a Radeon card
