Hello, all, I'm looking at getting a brand new box at home, and want to make sure that I don't end up with components that will preclude me from using my OS of choice. Currently, my hardware selections are as follows: AMD Athlon Thunderbird (950mhz) Asus A7M motherboard (as yet unreleased) 512mb PC-133 ram (2x 256mb) Voodoo5 5500 video 3Com 3c905b ethernet Soundblaster Platinum Live sound card Plextor EIDE CD-R For the most part, this box'll be running postgres, emacs, and perhaps several apache instances when I'm working, and will boot into some filthy MICROS~1 gulag when I need to blow off a little steam playing games. I've never put intel hardware together before, so any pointers from a FreeBSD perspective would be welcome. Thanks in advance, (jfb) -- What a puny plan.
