On the Asus page for the P2B-DS it lists: Adaptec ® AIC 7890 & 3860 80MB/s Ultra2 Wide SCSI Onboard (AIC 3860 Optional) Most other motherboards I see (Tyan, IWill, Supermico) Have only either a AIC7890 or AIC7895 with no mention of 3860 What is the difference between 7890 and 7895? Does the Asus board support anything the others do not? Anyways, all this SCSI stuff is just me overbuilding this server. Reliability is the key feature, I will be admining this system from about 300 miles away. Does anyone have an recommendations on what I should do to make the system as stable as posible? It will probably be running 3.0-current for CAM and SMP. Joe Gleason Tasam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
