(most likely Istanbul/Magny-cours) I'm doing my own research and trying to find a machine that is available here at a "reasonable" price. For the last few years all my machines have been AMD but I found the above using Intel Core I7 930 at a tolerable price. I haven't found an AMD that meets my requirements, YET and if this is a good procesor I will probably not look any more. Yes, I will be running FreeBSD on it (8.0 or 9.0). Is there another option;) I've been using it for almost 15 years if I remember right. Principal Apps: Apache Mysql ldap PHP Courier bind I've not noticed any comments on the 4 core Intel I7. Thanks for asking, ed P.S. I am registered on questions with both email addresses but the one that is activated in gmail and I didn't remember until I got this.
