  Hello,

I was recommended these boards for my server. They can accept 24GB of memory:

MSI s940 K8D MASTER-3 133 FS
Tyan S2877G2NR-RS

I wonder if FreeBSD will see the memory over 4GB in these boards. Can you please tell me what kind of processor do you recommend? Can I use two dual core opterons, e.g. have four logical processors?

Thanks,

  Laszlo
