Hello!

As many of us do frequently I am building a FreeBSD server, and want to
select the best possible parts to use.
I am hoping to use an AMD chip and put it all in 1U.

Any recommendations for motherboards?

Also; I have had issues with RealTEK cards (who hasn't) and am not
afraid to spend money on 3 good NICs for the server.  What's the best
all around card.  PPPoE support and longevity is more important than
speed.  What's best?  3com? Intel?


Thanks!
 Steve B.
