AKA the "Belchfire 4000" box.  I've seen some of those screamers
in use at a friend's place who does a lot of graphics rendering.  Amazing
how fast those machines are!

I'm still running OS/2 Warp 4.52 for my BBS, but it's still modern enough
for me to do what I need to on it.  The board itself is running on a Dell
Dimension 4550 (2gHz/P4, 384 MB RAM, 400GB HD storage space) so that's
enough to do anything I need it to.

Later,
Sean
