2 swap part on both 9 Go Disks

host operating system : SuSE 8.2 with official smp kernel (k_smp-2.4.20-95)

I only modified the number of compile threads to 2 from your .config file

... and the time is ...

1h 18 m 14 s

I upgraded the MB, CPU and ram for 600€ last month

with my PIII 800 EB @ 880 /256 Mb SDRam on MSI 6321 (694D Pro), my 
config took 5h +, with the new one (with same system,disks ...) it took 
2h with UP kernel and 1h48 with SMP kernel and 2 compile threads (ht 
copile 11% faster)

didn't try with 3 compile threads but as HT is a fake SMP, i believe it 
will be longer as 2 ...

I think this Mobo is good and easy to setup but other manufacturers 
offer best bundles for the price (round ide cables, every brackets for 
usb2 and 1394 ... which are optional with Asus Deluxe !!!) and very 
similar perfs ...

Hope it help you to decide or not
