Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8Bit X-Mailer-Version: v3.57 Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm planning on upgrading my computer [at least the motherboard] My question is what have you guys found to be good motherboards? Or which ones should I definitely not touch? I'm looking for one that can handle about an 700+ mhz processor Currently I've been looking at AMD [Athlon and Thunderbird] as they are much cheaper than Intel Pentium III's. So what are good mobos for that kinda processor power? [right now that is all I care about, everything else depends on the price of the mobo etc etc, but for now first thing is cpu speed].....Where is a good place to buy them online [motherboard/cpu combo] -- I'm looking only to spend about 200 [maybe $300 if it's really good] ....and of course I'm looking for one that will let FreeBSD run on it with no major problems. [Want to build a good desktop system [yes FBSD makes a better desktop than linux :) ] ] on a side now, what is ftp.cdrom.com/freebsd.org running just curious. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
