Nah, the 6000 line uses 208V 3phase... but there's a simple coversion to
220 single phase. I haven't measured, but rumour has it drawing about the
same as 3-4 '486 boxen. I'd imagine that's just one processor, though.

My 6320 doesn't seem to out out as much heat as my network rack, but then
again it has some big fans...
