CPU-performance-wise, almost anything you can buy today will run rings around an AS2000/500. Architecture-wide, I haven't seen anything that comes close to the Alpha. The AMD64 architecture is "clean" only in comparison with one of the worst computer architectures ever to see the light of day. >my only difficulty is that i do not understand what are the differences >between the two amd offerings, that is between teh opteron and teh >semperon .. Basically, the Sempron is the low-end "desktop" processor and the Opteron is the high-end "server" processor (similar to the Intel Celeron vs Xeon naming). Note that not all Sempron's support amd64 mode - according to the AMD website, all _current_ Sempron processors support amd64 but I know early ones didn't and I'm uncertain how to distinguish them without examining the "AMD Features" part of CPUID. >what sort of motherboards would work best with freebsd, Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html You might also like to ask on freebsd-amd64 > what if any >gotchas are thier with the semperon and or teh opteron and which would >be the best to use in a medium workload, In terms of meeting your performance requirements, I'd say the CPU is fairly irrelevant . In terms of reliability, a good Opteron-based server with ECC RAM and SCSI (or good SATA) disks is going to be far more reliable than a whitebox cobbled together around a cheap Sempron motherboard.

Note that not all Sempron's support amd64 More precisely, Sempron is a castrated version of the regular Athlon64: smaller cache, and also they tend to be in the bottom end of FSB frequency and multiplier, I believe. Note that there are 3 generations of Sempron: socket A (never 64-bit), then Sockets 754 (later, ~ 1 year old, steppings are 64-bit) and [obscure] 939, and now Socket AM2 (all AMD64; technically, these are still an K8 generation, yet worth mentioning separately). What I'd recommend is either to get a full-blown Opteron or regular Athlon64 (for performance, if finances permit), or better wait a little until AMD release more energy efficient Semprons (65nm process?). The latter would definitely be the option to my linking if CPU performance is not of big importance. Definitely consider recent SCSI: very reliable (both the interface and hard drives), and FreeBSD is quite happy and error-tolerant with the interface (at least when using certain host bus adapters). Crazy fast, too -- handy for mail and file servers. I have no experience with SATA myself, but from what I know, seems like a good option: cheap (to make a mirrored array at small cost) and usually reliable.

GENERIC doesn't include 'options SMP' so you don't have an SMP kernel.

Other things are OK, but I am not sure if onboard audio and LAN will be supported by FreeBSD or not. Here is the spec for the audio and LAN: Onboard Audio: Realtek ALC850 LAN Chipset: Marvell 88E1116 I have checked FreeBSD website for hardware compatiability, but didn't find anything about this board. Is there anybody happens to have experience running FreeBSD using this motherboard ? Does audio and lan work? Thanks for your help.
