How many processors can FreeBSD run with? When will FreeBSD be able to run on ia64? How many ram (DDR-ram? or what should I use?) How many hard-disks (not using RAID and with RAID)? (not SCSI disks) Any recommendations on gigabit NIC's? br socketd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
