SFC Hardware

["Fred C. Strom" <strom@MIT.EDU>]

I've selected two machines -- one a single P4 2.8GHz and the other a
dual Xeon 2.0 GHz.  Each costs about $1900 and has the same cache size
and bus speeds.  I would go with the dual processor machine, but my
only concern is that having two processors may make the computer more
difficult to deal with.

For the scanner, I found the Epson 1640SU which works through xsane
drivers with linux.  Its ADF goes at 5.5ppm, which might be a bit
slow.  Would 5.5ppm be all right for the first SFC prototype?

Here's a list of the hardware:
