From: asami@FreeBSD.ORG (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org * I will soon be setting up a new server, and I am wandering: * Will I be better off with lot's of single bis scsi controllers, * or less multi buss ones ? * * The motherboard will be the SuperMicro P6DLH with 9 PCI ports and Risc * I/O controller. I can't vouch for that motherboard, but as a general answer, you shouldn't have any problems with twin-channel controllers if you are using FreeBSD. Satoshi P.S. If you are using Solaris x86, forget it. Load three 3940's and you'll lock up the machine.
