So, I'd like to get a new desktop, and I'd really like to get an SMP system both so that I can have blazing speed, and so that I can be an SMPng guinea pig. I already run -current on my desktop, so I figured I might as well be a glutton for all the punishment I can. :) I'm quite comfortable building a system, so so I don't need something pre-packaged, I just need to know what to get. Video Card: Something fast that supports dual head, windows (for games) and X. I hear good things about ATI Radeon's lately... I'm getting reasonably good performance out of the freebsd native nvidia drivers with my current geforce card, but I can't help thinking that some of my spontaneous reboots are related to them, and I don't like the fact that I have to run without witness and invariants. So I'd like to move to something that is better supported, preferably by the vendor. So I think that leaves ATI and Matrox. Motherboard must haves: USB 2 Firewire PATA 133 At least 4 PCI slots 2 Serial ports Motherboard nice to haves: AGP 8x (or better?) AGP Pro50 bus?
