Build it twice. The first time will pull pretty much
everything into the buffer cache (assuming you have loads
of RAM). The second time should then give a fairly
good indication of the speed of your CPU/chipset/RAM combo.
Also, did I hear something about Linux having trouble
booting from UDMA66 drives a while back? Will I need to
have an older drive in there for boot/root?
