All are AMD64. 3 are : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ 3 are : 8 core FX8350 (new machines) All will have the same use flags/kernels/ The peripherals will only slightly be different bands of DVD. All video cards are ATI, so it should work? Or at least set up one from each of the 2 classes and dd to the other 2 drives? I'm game for this approach. curiously, James
